You guys are enabling me again...LOL. NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Stop it some more!!!
Wasn't that the one by Atwater?
While we are on the subject of scrapers, 2 more 40's wanted here. Just 2 more, that's all I am asking. I would actually like to find one badged as an import; Steelweld or?
Update on the 20: I scrounged up a can of gasoline, everything on the tractor checked out as should, so I might try to pop her off later today and take a test drive. JM

CL—-Modesto, could be in Atwater, looks like it’s been hit at by the water from orchard sprinklers for some time.

That's a very nice original Twenty! From the pictures; All I see that isn't original is the seat back may have been shortened at some time in it's life. What does it measure?

Side-Seat: I will measure it tomorrow. I put a gallon of mid-grade in it, primed the cups and on 3rd tug, I thought it coughed, I got her going on the 5th. Clutch brake is out of adjustment; I got it in gear and took it a couple of laps around the yard. Can't complain, the price was right!
In between filling the water truck, I buffed on the brass tags some. They look better than the photos. If I hurry, I can get her ready for the BBQ cook off contest/car show at Dixon, CA next weekend.
I think the previous owners will get a shock when we bring it out to local events. Their father's collection meant a lot to them. We are blessed to have been selected to have the 20. JM
