Jon, The majority of people who attend tractor shows, aren't going to know a hill of beans as to what is correct or what isn't. Only the hard core people would know to check casting codes, serial numbers, and other tell tale signs that designate a particular year or configuration. I think most of us here fix up out tractors to please ourselves. As to polishing and filling of castings, its strictly your choice, although they weren't polished from the factory. There were many imperfections such as casting seams, rock pits, just to name a few. Even the sheet metal wasn't painted with an automotive quality process. Many of the tractors I see at shows have much better paint jobs than ever came from the factory. Lots of 1939 and 1940 models have had different hoods with the U shaped clips rather than the zeuss type fasteners. That doesn't make it any less attractive tractor. We'll scour the earth trying to find original tires, and as you go, you'll run into a multitude of things that you just can't replace with original type parts. My 1940 A has had the Magneto replaced, and I have no idea where to find an original for the 39's and 40's. I guess, I like you, will do the best I can with what I have to work with and the time and money I have to put into it. Thats the wonderful thing about this hobby. There are so many things to think about. I think of things in my sleep, or a lack thereof.
