What is restored? There are so many ways to explain restored. There are a million different descriptions of a tractors condition. 1. Straight out of the field 2. Straight out of the junkpile 3. been setting for a "while" 4. mint 5. almost mint 6. a little rough 7. "parts tractor" Then there is degree's of restoration 1. garden hose and a spray paint can 2. fix what is broke and paint 3. winter project 4. complete dismantle, and over-haul. 5. Museum quality. No one says you HAVE to do it any certain way. This is not a contest. Whatever makes you happy. BUT.... To me restored means re-build, and make it like new again. All original. Anything less is just reconditioned. Any tractor that gets re-done in MY shop, is done to original specs, and done with OEM parts. But that's just me.
