I don't think people are looking down their nose, just objecting to some uses of the "restored" term. I don't "restore" anything, and never have. Can't afford it for my working tractors. I fix anything mechanically wrong, and go overboard doing preventative maintenance, oils, fuel treatment, filters, etc. What really gets most folks in trouble is saying they "restored" a tractor, when then just fixed what was obviously wrong, cleaned and painted it.

Many folks just put in new rings, grind the valves, new inserts, new sleves and say its been "rebuilt" when in fact that is probably less than 50 percent of a complete "rebuild". In other words, many folks tend to overstate the amount of their repairs. Tom
