I got pretty discusted at a judging event where I showed a couple of tractors. I was discriminated upon by all three judges because all three of them grew up driving tractors of a different color than the ones I was showing. The one they picked for the best wouldn't even start for demonstration because of a dead battery. This was in a restored class. Put a bad taste in my mouth for showing at a show where there is judging. For "Best Original Unrestored" the scoring should completely revolve around originallity and condition. Deduct points for anything non original. Since it is an unrestored class, you can even deduct points for repainting, new decals, and so on. I would also deduct points for wear and abuse. I would also deduct points for any rebuilding that has been done which will be hard to recognize. Is what you are looking for here is the tractor that is the closest to the way it was when it rolled out of the factory when new without being fixed up. Fixed up enters you into the restored class which should be a seperate class. If the show wants to have judging, I would advise that the participants vote on the various classes and they can not vote for there own tractor. It would also be neat if the general public veiwers could be involved in a couple of votes like for best of show or for best demonstration or something of such. Just my 2 cents.
