Actually, you might be surprised at the positive reaction. I've had both my workhorse (a WFE SuperC, aftermarket 3-point, faded paint here, bright touch-ups there, sporadic light rust all over, intermingled with oil and grease) and my baby (a BN rebuilt from stem-to-stern finished off with a deftly applied cover of high-end paint, all the excess stemming from sentimental attachment to a family tractor) out to shows, and they both draw attention fom the folks that care about tractors.

It wasn't to show off my restoration skills (though I had tried my hand at a couple of old motorcycles in my teens and if I recall correctly, those old motorcycles were sold in boxes about one quarter finished). It wasn't to relive memories of Grampa, Dad or myself out on the back 40 nursing the Farmall pulling too many b
