About 6 years ago I was at the John Deere World Headquarters and they had an older tractor (I want to say it was a B) that was on display w/ all of the new stuff. The neat thing about the tractor was that it was "restored" without repainting. It seemed like they did something to preserve the original paint condition. It looked like they took a tractor out of the barn, powerwashed it and then sprayed a coat of clear. I thought it was a pretty neat idea to basically preserve the tractor as it was.
I'm going to be getting my grandpa's Farmall H that he bought new in '52 and I'm toying with the idea of doing something like this. My questions are, does anyone else do this? Is it as simple as putting clear coat on the tractor after it is cleaned up (and seals replaced so it doesn't keep leaking)?
