[AT] Fire Damged tractors

This doesn't sound too bad at all.  Replace all the
rubber/vinyl/wiring/battery/distributor parts and anything else that
would have melted.

I've seen people do nice fire restorations.  Haven't done it myself
though.

Hello all:

Haven't posted in quite a while, but have a question.  My sister and  
her husband had a fire this spring that took their machine shed.   
Inside were a 6620 JD Combine, a Farmall 560 and my dad's beloved  
Super H.  The hottest part of the fire was at the north end and the  
fire seems to have drawn air from the south end which was where the  
wind was coming from. The 560 was at the south end and still has some  
original paint showing. The Super H was next to it, and still looks  
straight, but the sheet metal is discolored.  Both tractors lost the  
tires and anything that wasn't metal.

Has anybody tried to restore a fire damaged tractor, or is all lost?
