How can you say a restoration is "replacing all parts needed"? They are ALL worn beyond new specs! Is a bored cylinder and larger piston "restored"? In my opinion NOTHING that wears can ever be restored in the true meaning of the word. If RESTORED means brought back to 100% original,then it is not possible on something that wears!! I believe this IS the true meaning of the word. This means you can't install a bearing made by Timken in 2005 in a JD made in 1941 and call it restored. And besides,who decides what mechanical parts "need" replaced and which don't? Some you can't tell by looking at them.I would say that any 50+ yr old part has a 99% chance of being bad in some sense of the word.Are you going to replace EVERYTHING in order to call it "restored"? The buying public has an obligation to educate themselves in everything they do.It don't matter how many "rules" or "laws" we institute, we can't protect someone who refuses to protect themselves.The information needed to protect ones self in any situation IS out there.You can either USE IT or LOSE. It is our choice and we need to stop blaming "Words" in an add or "words" that were spoken by a "motivated" seller for our poor bargaining,documenting and purchasing skills.Yes it would be an ideal world if everybody was on the "same page" in all our deallings,but the last time I looked, this world is not and never will be even close to "IDEAL".
