Is it possible to restore a tractor? Are there levels or degrees of restoration? When a tractor is first assembled every component that goes in is manufactured to a set of specifications. Who has the capability to verify every specification on every component to say it is restored to original condition? Even new parts may be made by third party manufactors. I am puting a 1972 Cub Cadet 149 back in service. I am stripping, filling, replacing some parts, primeing, and painting. I have replaced almost all the original bolts with bolts from TSC. When I finish if someone says "Wow you restored it" or "Hey you repaired it" I will be equally happy. I will know that I did it. I may never let it work again but I know I could. When I look at it or drive it I will know it is better than the Cubs down at TSC. They don't make what I have anymore.
