Testimonials
Thank you for the great job you did on our John Deere 730 Diesel. Your straightening of the sheet metal on the grill, hood, nose cone and fenders made all the difference in the final product. The hand finishing that you did using no filler material made the painted surface look better than brand new.
We are so proud to show this restored tractor off in the shows and parades that our tractor club participates in. The time invested in your work really pays off and we just could not be happier.
Dave Nelson’s work is extraordinary. He is a talented, experienced craftsman who is a professional auto body technician who knows tractors inside and out! Dave doesn’t cut corners and does the job the right way. At every tractor show, I receive enthusiastic compliments on the sheet metal and paint on my 1950 JD B.
If you want first-rate sheet metal renewal/repair on your tractor, I highly recommend you contact Dave Nelson. You won’t be disappointed!
Dave Nelson restored two tractors for us, a Farmall 350 and a Farmall SMTA. Both tractors turned out to be exceptional and are the “head turners” at the Rantoul Half Century of Progress and Red Power Roundup.
