I have to agree. Seeing a tractor, all incorrectly painted up, with
wrong decals, wrong seat cushions, stainless steel straight pipes
and other fooh-bahs and having the tractor labled "restored"
and passed off as being CORRECT really annoys me! Not that
the tractor is so badly mis-painted, but that someone PUBLISHED
a PICTURE and labeled it as being how it was supposed to look!

CUSTOM paint ought to be identified as being such!

In a more extreme example, It is also possible to fabricate your
own high crop antique tractor. Should someone who does that
be also encouraged to try and pass of his Frankenstien tractor as
ORIGINAL and try to demand top dollar price for it? Say ne starts
with a rare JD 730DIESEL high crop and grafts the parts onto an
LPG 730 high crop tractor, thus creating an artificial (ultra
scarce) tractor.

Admittedly, incorrect paint jobs for the most part only make the
owner look SIMPLE but if you try and sell the tractor to someone
as being expensively restored, and the buyer finds out later that
your expensive paint job and decals all have to expensively be
redown because they aren't right, that to me smacks of minor
dishonesty.

Publishing a picture of an incorrectly painted tractor, and
presenting such to other people who are looking for ACCURATE
information as to how it originally looked is one of the reasons
why so many people have to ask those questions here! YOu just
can't trust the published photos!
