That's a good question. I've wondered that myself. I feel that if it is advertised as being restored then to me that means everything has been rebuilt and should work perfectly. That also means new tires unless it has really good originals. I get really frustrated with these guys that spend a bunch of money on paint and then can't tell you if the engine has been overhauled. They say it doesn't smoke. Also the tires are 50% with alittle cracking--what a joke. The real kicker are the guys that get their neighbors to stand on each side of the tractor and spray it with aerosol cans while he drives it past them---then he calls it restored. Good luck on getting an answer--I'm sure I'm going to get an ear-full for my opinion!
