I agree with you on letting people (and kids) climb on one and touch it. I was involved with a military museum and we had a number of 100% completely restored vehicles that were strictly forbidden to touch. But to satisfy human nature, i. e. the need to touch something, we had a tank, a jeep, a helicopter, a mortar position, and an armored personnel carrier all set up so they could climb in, over and around it. These were not show pieces, but were probably closer to what the real things looked like after some use. I feel the same way about tractors. The nice pretty ones are fine, but give me one that has been earning its living and has been treated to a little spit and polish, just enought to get the mud and dust off, kinda like what oldtimers did to their horses, cars, trucks before going to town Saturday night.
