Have one question. If the definition of a "restored" tractor is one that is as close to the way it came from the factory, then how do you justify using new technology paint, etc? To each his own, but seems to me that falls into the same category as the resto-rod in the car world. I'm working on a Farmall Regular. It'll have all the mechanical issues fixed, all the leaks fixed, and look reasonably close to what I believe is how it looked when it came from the factory. If there was any original paint left on it, I wouldn't re-paint it, but what little paint there is left is the wrong color. I have a Farmall H that's got a 10 yard paint job (not mine) on it and the wrong decals. Someday I'll get around to cleaning it up & repainting it, but right now it's just fine for what I do with it. If you have the $$$ and inclination to go for a total teardown type restoration, go for it. To me, half the fun of owning antique equipment or cars is doing it yourself. Keith
