Grandpa John Bourdaghs pulling family with his restored 1940 Minneapolis Moline R. The tractor was purchased new by John’s wife Collen’s grandfather. The tractor has been operated by 6 generations of the family with no plans of it ever leaving.
John had acquired a lot of knowledge on these machines thoughout his life and during restoration. He shares his knowledge with everyone he can ensuring future generations have as much appreciation for these machines as he does.
