In Reply to: What is a tractor restoration? posted by bkzap on December 28, 2012 at 13:37:24:

ive probably refurbished around 10 tractors, but i have never restored one, refurbished means i take it apart as far as necessary to replace what is needed to make the unit work as it did originally, then i paint it, this is not a million dollar paint job that looks like you can fall into it, this is a job done to make a working tractor look nice, all the tractors ive done currently work for a living, none are trailer queens or have had 25 grand spent on it because somebody told me the company only made 50 of them, to me, if they only made 50 of them they were either a special purpose tractor and probably didnt even clear their development cost, or not many people wanted a tractor with that configuration, i wouldn't pay any more for it than i would for a standard model in the same condition, a restored tractor in my opinion has been taken apart down to the last nut and bolt, and every single part has been replaced or repaired to original or better than original specifications, such a tractor today would be an extremely expensive machine, and probably would only be done to a family tractor with the idea that it never be sold to a non family member , there is too many tractors out their being claimed as restored and the seller has 50 bucks in paint on it plus what the tractor originally cost him,
