Robert,
Thanks for the kind words. I was somewhat ashamed of how my 210-4 looked before I started to spiff her up, so I didnt take a lot of photos before the restoration. She was not in horrible condition but needed all new paint, decals and hardware. Agco had many parts but some items like the instrument panel decal had to be reproduced from a photo . I replaced a lot of hoses and rubber parts after removing all the ancillary devices from the engine compartment including the radiator and battery tray. The whole tractor including the rear fluid filled wheels were amazingly corrosion free. The loader bucket was dinged up so the nice guys at Menconi Welding in Brookfield, MO made a new bucket for me using the original bracket ($400) Brookfield Tire installed 2 new rear tires and tubes for ($560) and now all I have to do is find one more front 4WD part to completely finish her. The part is available from Agco new. but I will save lots of money if I am patient and get it from a salvage yard. For now she is 2WD only, but is perfectly functional for me. I have restored several cars, motorcycles and aircraft but didnt realize how much fun tractor restorations can be. This little tractor is elegant in it's simplicity and a real pleasure to own.
