I just bought a TO20 that through this web sight I found is a TO30. She, (Dutchess)runs well, everything works and not bad to look at. I'm looking forward to meeting you all and picking your collective brains in the future. Bob in South Central Washington.

My TO30 didn't run when I got it. After I got all the turkey feathers out of it (was a working tractor at one time on a turkey farm many years ago) and the rest of the tractor rebuilt, it will be running very soon. Bickletonbob I might even have it in Goldendale In June at the Guys and Gals tractor pull at the fair grounds. I grew up in the Yakima valley and spent many hours on a TO20.

Hi Bickletonbob.

I live in Bend Oregon and have a 1953, TO-30. Dad overhauled it in 1965 and we have used it all my life. If you ever get down here I would sure enjoy having you come on over; we can BBQ and talk tractors.
Paul

actualy live in Goldendale,we bought some property in Bickleton years ago,thats where the name comes from. I"d stopped by a local tractor shop in town to look at a ditcher when something drew me to the back corner.I believe it was love at first sight.I'd worked on a few of these o'l girls and thought it was wrong that I didn't have my own.I told John,the proprieter,she was sold and I'd be back after the "informing of the wife" Drove Dutchess about 7 miles to the house the next day.

hey bob...what do you mean you "drove" it home. you are definatly on the wrong forum if you got a tractor that actually runs, all of our tractors are in pieces and haven't run in years. we just get on here and talk about what we're GONNA do "someday" to get them going...if we can find the right parts.

hey guys! get a load of THIS guy...his tractor actually works!! 80)

Yip, drove her home. John said he would be glad to deliver her,thought I was joking about driving in the weather. The rain turned to snow mix on the way,but I dressed for it. We have miles of dirt road around the house,and Dutchess has left her tread on most of them. Thats my idea of a four wheeler.

By your handle I'll bet you're from near Bickleton, WA. I used to hunt some of that country years ago. Around Pine Creek and Six Prong. Welcome to the forum!
