Watch Jeff and Becky Hansen’s progress on their 1936 Farmall F20 adoption project. This old tractor was in machinery row at Prairie Village for many years until the Hansens adopted it and took it back to Lake Wilson, MN to restore it. This grand old machine will return to Prairie Village and be at the Jamboree sporting its new look.
