Thanks for your valuable input. I don't want you to misunderstand, though, perhaps I was unclear. I would like an estimate that you guys are confident is within $400.00 of correct. I would be surprised if my restoration runs much less than $1000.00 given that I know I need brake work, some serious steering and front wheel work, and all new gaskets and rubber parts at the minimum. I would like a nice parade tractor when done, and I think el-cheapo paint jobs look like crap. I see where guys use can spray paint on an old Allis and they do it on the surface after done and have it on the tires, oil filter, etc. I'll leave original paint before I do that. I might not go to show-quality paint as I don't need to win awards, and I will still use this tractor, but I would like the original shades, and have the tractor look like the day it was bought, other than there will not be perfect sheet metal.
Also, I am undecided on whether I get new tires for the old girl. If the restoration is coming along looking swell, I will probably give the old girl new rubber. Don't count new rubber into your estimate, though, I'm figuring that'll be quite expensive and just stacking that on top at the end. So figure on a restoration cost not counting new tires as I have it described.

Out of the yard, over the cows and bale piles, through the dozer piles, poplars, and brush, out onto the ditch grade road, past the noisy 6.2 diesel engine pulling my well traveled Suburban along. Well it sure didn't take me long to figure out what it was because I alrea
