(quoted from post at 12:16:23 02/22/14) Hi
I have a different way to look at this why not just go into mechanical driveable restorations , Rather than high price paint jobs. To do a proper paint job can be 3-$4000 plus depending on time and materials. Seems to be a bit of a turn towards people wanting to see running/driving as found tractors now.
Half these fancy tractors a guy sees with million $ paint jobs never looked that good new. The guys got so much in it he can"t use it because he"ll cry if it gets scratched or dinged.
Half the fun of doing this is the running and using it !
If your a museum I"m guessing you"ll be closing the doors soon if you want high $ restoration tractors in there. Maybe start being nice to local collectors with them, and hope they leave you a few in wills L.O.L.
There have been a few to many tractors round here in estate sales,made way less than the tires , the last few years.
Regards Robert
(quoted from post at 08:27:15 02/22/14) I had discussion with Museum staff about high cost to restore a tractor. They have no real idea of the cost of this hobby. What do you feel it costs to restore:
Basic row crop
High Crop
Orchard
Oil Pull or any prairie tractor
Garden Tractor
Thanks for the input.
