y'know...you guys that tear your tractor all the way down, and fix it back to original, right down to the nuts and bolts, really impress me! you are, and will ever be the "elite" amoung us when it comes to TOTAL restoration, and i respect and appreciate all the work and skill you put into your hobby. not all of us are on the same playing field tho. because of time, funds, skill, or lack there of, some of us just cannot do what you do! i've notice a few "commenters" across these forums that sound like they look down their noses at those of us who like to "tinker" with our tractors, fix 'em up and make them look..."nice". maybe they won't be perfect or "fully restored" or "restored to original", and maybe the paint won't be exact or perfect, but alot of time and work and learning goes into any effort to take an old tractor and make it run and look good, and deserves a measure of appreciation and respect. i'd like to know, how many of you "perfectionist's" FIRST tractor turned out "perfect"? everything starts somewhere. my 2 cents,
-mike
