I too can see all the different opinions and experiences of those that posted to this thread. I do not "show" any antiques (I only farm with a bunch of them). My tractors are never polished (seldom washed) and are working tractors.

However, I did have a thought or two for those that plan shows, go to shows, and such...

How about putting a few "not-so-restored" tractors on display (with friendly volunteers that are knowledgable about tractors) to explain and interpret what the tractor is, does, works, functions... If insurance would allow... the public could set on the "not-so-good" tractors without the fears of scratches and scrapes. I think that if two identical tractors were setting side-by-side, one a show tractor (maybe roped off) and one a hands-on-display the public would become "advocates" for the collectors and for agriculture. Personal involvement (as opposed to a sterile environment) can do wonders for relations with the public. Creating "Warm fuzzies" are a great way to win "friends for agriculture." And the Good Lord knows we need all the friends we can win!
