Please don't be offended but if you have to ask you probably should decline. The organization holding the event should have judging rules. Usually, the judges are people who have like-kind tractors and know what to look for. It's an old-fashioned way of passing down knowledge from one generation to the next. But it's not without its problems as it gets to be a "good old boy" deal pretty quickly. And there are some very specific details that even many owners of exactly the same tractor simply haven't been exposed to. For example, my model tractor came with a certain seat. An optional and expensive seat was also offered. Almost nobody bought one, except me. So I'm often asked where I got the aftermarket seat from. I then have to drag out the parts manual and prove to them that it really came from the factory.
