In the past in England there were some awful restorations, paint over the oil, rust & dirt. The main magazine here has pushed "Rolls Royce" restorations, if it aint better than exhibition finish - youve failed !!! The other end is the "barn find" covered in oil, rust & hen sh+t, battered & bent BUT starts on 1st swing of starting handle, and purrs away in the field at a working event as good as the day it was made. At least this way it doesnt matter if it gets dirty, using it to work an implement is the best fun you can have with an old tractor.
