Hi Gang; Ive been selling new tractors & farm machinery in England since the mid-1970s. My opinion is that over the past few years painting quality has gone down, and the steam cleaners fetch off sheets of paint. On antique tractors here there are 2 schools of thought, either sandblast & respray to better than new condition or leave it original (rusty) and coat it in thin oil to preserve the off farm condition. Badly painted tractors are not selling here to-day. I've got original Fordson Super Major - too good to repaint; and totally restored to as new JD920 & Fordson KFD Orchard tractor. My older restoration JD BR wasnt done well by the previous owner, and looks scruffy now. Dread to think of of the cost to do it properly !!! Cheers David
