It is a can or worms. Some people are meticulous in their restorations, some people run them through the car wash, squirt some paint at them, and call them restored.
Our local town goes berzerk on July 4th with antique car shows, antique tractor show, crafts, musical performances, etc. (I once instigated an ugly truck contest. The only requirements were current plates and insurance, and the truck had to arrive and leave under it"s own power. The show actually made quite a hit.)
Anyway, most of the tractors are totally over-restored. I doubt the factory ever put a $3,000 clearcoat paint job on a WD Allis. I have a "52 H Farmall with a bucket loader that has been in the family for 50 years. It still works every day and looks it. The paint is almost completely gone, etc.
I think I"ll take that H to the antique tractor show on the 4th with a sign, "WORKS EVERY DAY. DOESN"T HAVE TIME TO LOOK PRETTY", and see what happens.
