There are a few successful shops, but if you want to make any money you'd have to be an expert marketer. You compete against the guys who will restore their own tractor then sell it for less than the parts cost they have in it so they can buy another tractor and start over.

It is exactly the same deal with antique automobile restoration, the expert marketers sell to the wealthy few however there are far fewer wealthy people willing to pay big bucks for a tractor restoration.

If your goal is not marketing, or if you don't think selling lifetime knives from China for inflated prices at the county fair is not only fun but a good challenge, a tractor restoration business may not be for you.
