: : : Yes I saw the post on Tractor Tales about ad phrase meanings. : : : When you read an ad that says 90% restored, what the heck does that mean? Who decides what constitues 90%. It's my guess that one guy might have a real piece of crap and he thinks it's 90% restored, but the true professional restorer would think it's 10% restored. : : : : What really gets me is the guy that buys an old rusty running tractor, steam cleans it, squirts some paint on it, and then asks a fortune for it. That is NOT a restored tractor.He is only trying to make a fast easy buck. : : Steve : We call those guys "tractor jockeys". In eastern Iowa we call those guys "scalpers". SEA
