peter lena 8,610 #112 Posted October 2, 2023 @Bens vintage tractors like the oiled look of your recovered tractors . having said that , its the picked up condition of said tractor that matters most . very often past saving , have done a very light paint spray and rub in , just to give it a look of possibilities . recent horse I sold was like that ,it was so neglected , anything would look better , just a spray and rub , gave it a much better look , without a lot of recovery work . when it sold , thought it looked just about right , have to draw the cut off line , you know , pete 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bens vintage tractors 1,542 #121 Posted January 2 Didn’t even make it 24hrs into 2024 and I already grabbed my first tractor. 867. trying to decide what route I want to take with this machine.
