Father, Dale and son-in-law, Todd  customized a garden tractor to replicate a full size Minneapolis Moline G1000.  For the past several years a different tractor(s) has been chosen to make a miniature version in the farm shop. 

Each project is one of a kind and built on different garden tractors so it never gets routine.  Steiner Tractor Parts is a helpful partner in our builds; from mufflers, air cleaners, fuel caps and more.  T&D Customs

I restored this 1946 Minneapolis Moline R that my Dad bought new. It did not run when I got it and the overall paint condition was bad from all the pigeon droppings. Many hours were spent rebuilding the engine which required a new cam, rocker arm, rings, and bearings.

This tractor was the main “workhorse” for many years to plow, disk, plant, cultivate, and do all the other tasks that you do on a small 109-acre dairy farm in northern Illinois. My 4 brothers and 2 sisters and I all learned to drive with this tractor.
