first tractor that I had redone that has the stamped emblems, what is the best way to restore as close to new posable. have you guys got some tricks for doing this?
thanks in advance for any help.

Restoring them to like new or even acceptable conditions for re-use takes more time, talent, patience, and tools than I have. Light taps with a small hammer may be the method of choice. Or send them to the Emblem Guy in IN for him to redo for you. To my knowledge he will restore yours or trade them in on ones already restored. (317)984-3698.

I used small pieces of dowell rods whittled to various shapes. Less likely to damage the aluminum that steel punches. Ellis

Hammers and punches will leave dings in the material. Tapping on wood will help relieve that issue also u=sing wood for the hammer is even better if you can. Like tapping a wood piece with a wood 2x4 or other wood. I have straightened out blower pipe slip links so they would work after being driven over with the farmers pickup by his wife.
