All of the old tractors I have are users, but if I did have any collector tractors they would be restored right down to the last nit-pickin bolt, and they would have a better than new paint job.
But I don't hold other people to any standards. We're all put together different and the beauty of this hobby, or addiction, is we have the right to do as we darned well please.
A month ago I was lined up in the staging area for a parade and across the parking lot I saw a person I barely knew standing beside a freshly painted tractor.

The throttle lever had been broken off and welded back on with a chunk of reinforcement on the side, and some other stuff was bent, but he was proud of it. That's all that matters.
To answer you question, most of the old tractors that are collected are made to look decently good from a distance and sound nice but that's about as far as they go.Jim
