Thank you all for your thoughtful replies.
Steve, while I might someday do a parade (very local) with this or another of our tractors should the farming ever slow down enough to spare most of a day away from chores, I don't get, fix or keep tractors for 'show' - they are here to work. Yes, when they are properly fixed up mechanically, I'd like to make them as 'rust proof' as a good coat of paint (in the right colors) can make them when their time off of work and my spare time allow, but it isn't required, nor will they be "restored" to factory original. The internal combustion engine and it's accessories have come a long way in the past 90 years. I believe David G has the right idea with EFI, and that's part of the plan for the gassers here (when time and finances allow). Paint is just another of those things 'still left to do', a thread of hope that my work isn't finished just yet.
Perhaps 20 years from now when I'm in my 80's, Lord willing, some younger guy or gal will come by and make an offer on my old iron, and in that moment I can let go of another thread that holds me here, and the cycle can continue.
