As the old saying goes, if you have to ask the price, you can`t afford it.

If you just want it to look good at around 10 feet and everything to work, you are talking in the range of $5,000. If you are talking about it looking good at arms length, and being in as good condition as when it rolled out of the factory. Then $12,000 to $15,000, maybe more.

"Restoring a tractor" has been used by so many people that have entirely different ideas of restoring. Some people call restoration a crumby paint job. If you mean restoring all functions and getting a good paint job, I call that refurbishing. A lot of people call that restoring. It isn't. Restoring means bringing all components back to new condition. That will certainly mean an engine rebuild, replacement of a lot of the gears, bearings, steering knuckles, etc. Everything should be in as new condition. I've actually only seen a few restored tractors. I heard a guy once who restored a Minneapolis Moline 1000. It cost him over $20,000.

Refurbishing a tractor covers a wide range. Where do you stop? I always get everything to function. Gears that are noisy get replaced - usually. Seals that leak get replaced - always. Engines get rebuilt about 75% of the time.

A cost estimate is difficult. We need to know how much of the work you will do yourself. If you don't do anything, figure about $3k to $10k.

To truely restore it cost big $$. As in to restore a tractor you open it up from top to bottom front to back and bring every thing back up to what it was when new. Now to fix one up thats a differant story. But restore means to fix one to the point that it is as good or better then the day it rolled out of the factory

you are talking about restoring a tractor you are fixing to spend some big dollars you can repair and paint and the tractor will probably look and work good to restore a d 12 probably cost you 4-5000.00 dollars just in parts you can repair and paint probably from 800.00-1500.00 if you do the labor yourself to restore a tractor professionally being the size of a d12 you can spend 6-10000.00 dollars i do this kind of work everyday i see guys advertise restored tractors when i know some of them are only repair and painted there is a big difference in restoring and repairing what the heck it's time to go fishing guys
