Boy there is a big ole can of worms you just opened up.
In my opinion Restored can mean whatever you really want it to. Usually does involve some degree of repair/rejuvination.
To be adequatly restored to take to most shows it only needs to satisfy the owner.
My first efforts involved simply getting the tractor running. Worked up to the point where now I don't consider it restored to MY PERSONAL satisfaction unless it is pretty close to when the tractor came off the assembly line new. This of course involves major and minor repairs and paint that is prob 10 times better than they would have hoped for when the tractor was new.
Does that mean I won't take a tractor to a show unless it is restored to that level? No. for me if it runs and suits my fancy the day I decide to load up it is good enough for me. Only one I take to local show now regularly is in its working clothes, of course it works there also.
Bottom line is do what makes you happy.
This is only my opinion and your mileage may vary.
