My father bought this tractor new in 1915 along with a plow and a threshing machine. We are restoring the tractor and would like any info from you guys on colors, spare parts, etc

Thanks from Surbo

I wouldn" paint it. Just clean, and make it run. They look so great with original work clothes..

Is that the 20-40 that resides at Prairie Village in Madison SD? If so I am glad someone is fixing her up!

Yep, that's the one, serial #3140. It is the tractor that started Prairie Village, item #1. My Dad bought it new in 1915, came into Egan SD on two rail flatcars, tractor and six bottom plow on one bed, threshing machine on the other bed. He threshed and plowed with it until drafted for WWI, it was sold then. This year is the 50th anniversary of PV.

Everytime they belt the old 20-40 up I make sure I am standing close to watch! They are still one of my favorite tractors. I commend you for restoring it, she has been looking rough the last couple years. I look forward to seeing it when your finished!
