Devious said: (quoted from post at 22:39:21 06/01/10) Question? Can a tractor be called restored if it has been repaired or does it have to have new parts put on to be called restored for shows? Devious, Humble Tx

When I bought my tractor, the guy had an old one in his shop that was stripped of every removeable part and laid out on numbered cardboard.

Asked him what was wrong and he said that he had to take care of his wife for several years before she died and when she was gone he was bored and lonely. He'd do a number at a time and do whatever the parts on it needed. When every gear was clean, bolt (or part) was cleaned and repainted, he'd pick another number. Bet that was a pretty tractor when he was done...........

Myself, I don't have the space for a work and show tractor so would just make the one I have look/work best as possible and have fun.

Now, if you've got one of them mankiller 8N's..don't waste your time, just junk it and call B&D to set you up with a new JD. Quote a few verses for him and you may get a discount.

Have fun,

Dave
