I like the term --refurbished-- which to me means those broken or excessively worn parts are replaced. Another way of using the restored term is to do what I sometimes do when referring to my own tractors, I put it in quotations "Restored". There are very few truly restored tractors around. The 460 I am "restoring" will have a completely rebuilt engine. But the somewhat worn transmission will be untouched except for a thorough cleaning and new fluid. As to the paint, I am not about to use the 1930's alkyd enamel that came on them. My objective there is to make it better than new. I don't get excited when I see the term, I just pass it off and take it with a couple of grains of salt.
