My would say $12,000 to $15,000.If you 'hire' the work done.

Lots of variables.Good paint and hardener at least $400,all new hood bolts and wheel bolts around $100,at least 40/45 hours labor,depends if you need interior kit,replacement motor if reconditioned over $7000 plus labor.I just sold a nice 1466 with nice original paint 4426 actual known hours and a/c worked ,tires were excellent for $9500.When you recondition an older tractor plan on having it for quite awhile to come out.I just had a nice 1206 painted and sold a super sharp 1466 I bought at Albert Groeneweg sale that would be hard to find one painted nicer or ran better for $15000.

The trick is to get all the "mechanicals" done first, test & run for a while to get all the pesky lil oil leaks & seepages fixed before re-paint.
Total costs will vary as to what you are able to perform yourself, and then what a rebuild or repairs will cost for each item.
It's tempting to just get it all done at once and get it all red, but you will find yourself noticing every shortcut you took along the way. It greatly depends on how far you & your wallet want to go, and how you wish to use it, a good looking work tractor, or a show queen.
Either way, I would begin with getting the engine, tranny, brakes steering etc. fixed properly first & go from there as you can afford.

There are many places on line that restore tractors, I would begin by getting a ball park figure from them, again sight un-seen it will be a ball park figure at best, once you get them apart many things that were un-seen before, need repair, you will also be paying their hourly labor rate, this is good in the fact they know how to get it right the first time, have the experience in repair , painting, tools, and have a long list of places to get the right parts. Most are very reasonable compared to a modern dealership, and actually care a great deal for what they do.
If you can perform many of the repairs yourself & save a great deal and it gives a great amount of satisfaction when completed, but be prepared for some long hours, the ability to withstand the patience robbing pitfalls you find yourself into when the book doesn't quite cover everything, and you end up taking it back apart two or three times to get it right, this is when an experienced tractor mechanic comes in real handy, they can provide the minute " tricks of the trade" that only come with experience. It's a trade off..... of money well spent, to money spent once maybe twice on the same repair, painting is whole nuther ball game, proper preparation is key, any shortcuts will outshine the best of paint jobs, again..... be prepared for long hours & ocaisional re-do's.
