MNSF 1920 IH 10-20 Titan Tractor Spotlight

Don Ondracek tried to purchase this tractor for several years before he was actually able to buy it. Another gentleman had been working on the tractor and planned to restore it himself. When Don purchased the tractor, it did not run, but supposedly the engine had been worked on. Don contacted Lee Sackett about hauling the tractor to Lee's shop and getting it running for him. A few months later, Lee's team had the tractor running. Don and his wife visited the shop in Waltham, MN to hear it run. During that visit, they decided to proceed with finishing the restoration. Over the next several months, repairs were made to nearly every component of the tractor. It was disassembled and painted in pieces so that even the back sides of each part received a good coat of paint to protect it from rust. New fenders were purchased and then modified to correctly fit the tractor. After completion, Lee's young daughters mastered the 7-step process of starting the tractor, which became a fan favorite at many tractor shows. The tractor has been to shows in Minnesota, Iowa, and South Dakota.
