Jonathan, There are restored tractors, which every attempt is made to put the tractor in the same state and condition as when it came from the factory. There are reconditioned tractors, which allow more latitude in that you clean it up, paint it up, replace worn or non working parts, etc. Then there are modified tractors, which will look more automotive when finished. It really depends on what you have to work with, and what you want it to be when you finish. I'm sort of a purist myself, but I can appreciate almost any kind of tractor that is running and resurected forn the scrap heap. I just bought a 1940 A myself, and would love to put it back to as close to original as possible, but given that it has a replacement engine block, that will be an impossibility, I do know, that when I get it finished, it will be one I can be proud of and talk about at length. By the way, does yours have a starter? Mine is totally manual. No lights, no starter.
