In a way, I prefer a hard dirt floor over a gravel floor--I have spent a LOT of time hunting for small parts dropped in gravel. Especially parts that I cannot pick up with a magnet.
However I sure do like a nice smooth, but not too slick concrete floor to work on. It's also a real luxury to be able to do some jobs inside a building rather than out in the weather. I did clutch jobs a couple of times in my driveway so I could drive the car to work the next day. Once with snow blowing around me under the car. But I got it done!
"Restoring" a tractor can mean different things to different people. That can range from complete disassembly and returning all parts to factory condition and finishes, to the other extreme of repainting with rattle cans without taking anything apart or cleaning things very well. I don't claim to restore my tractors, but rather I just try to keep them working fairly well.
