Delta, In our case restore is too strong of description of what we do; the 1st tractor we ever did was what I would call a full rstoration on a "47 2N Ford, about 10 minutes after we backed it out of the shop and took pics Dad had it on a hog working on his 40 acre gentlemsn/horse/hobby farm. I decided right then and there that it would never go to that level again, so now we do what I term refurbish: they look good when we are done, but usually spend a year or two getting 100% mechanically correct before beautification. We have 4 IHs, 5 JDs, 2 Fords, and an AC. Any one of which might get loaded and taken to a strictly stock division 1 type pull, a show, a plow day etc. we are not a bit embarrassed to do anyone of the above with any of the tractors beautified or not, and everyone of "em gets used around the place for what ever job is appropriate. The "52 CJ3A on the other hand is in the midst of a full frame off resto and will never work again accept for fun. The "55 R200 International ex fire truck will get a resto and haul some tractors in parades. For the most part we go for originality and functionality but try to keep "em straight and appealing. having said that...a Super C with a 153 engine, special gears, 38" cuts and some other tweaks is deffinately on the horizon for strictly pulling...of course I don"t feel quite so badly about altering a Super C as much as I love "em because they are fairly plentiful.

I've been working very hard to get our two rundown Farmall A's sanded, primed , bondo�d, fiberglassed and painted before our big local tractor show called the Tulip Festival. My husband Ben came in the garage one rainy day to see if he could "help". Well if you knew Ben you wouldn't want him anywhere near your spray gun, fiberglass or bondo! So I pulled out the 2 old yucky looking magne
