There would also be mechanical restoration where everything has been gone through and the tractor is ready to go to work. To me, I don't believe a piece of equipment has to be completely disassembled down to the last washer and nut to be restored, as long as it was checked for wear and prepped for painting resonably well. I should also be specified what was done during the restoration. Minor wear on components like transmission gears do not call for replacement IMHO to qualify for restoration.
