It depends like everyone else says on if you use it or not and if its just a project to tinker at now and then. We have been working on a 15-30 McCormick Deering for nearly three years now. Last year we started a JD model A in February and had it done by September for a JD show. Also did a case RC once that took about two months from start to finish. It was in working mechanical order when we got it, just needed some new gaskets and shined up a bit. The A was running when we got it but barely, and needed quite a bit of tinwork help, and all seals and gaskets were replaced. And finally the 15-30 was a basket case when we got it home the engine was free but didnt run, and all of its tin needed rebuilt or replaced. So I would say that it also depends on what you have to do to the tractor to get it going. There is no set time for a restoration.
