1920 Titan 10-20 Restoration

SproutW · Dec 23, 2010

Thought I would share the restoration of "Buster" a 1920 Titan 10-20 with this group. I'm still searching for an air cleaner if someone happens to have one lying around and willing to part with it. Enjoy the restoration videos. Hope to have Buster all finished up by this spring.

Looking good Sprout.

Outstanding job and super job on the videos. Seeing what you went through gives me some hope yet on the Regular we have bee playing with for the past two years.

On ours, the frame rails were badly corroded so sent them out to get the holes and the big craters filled. Welder knew a lot less that we thought he did and warped them. Can"t get anyone to even try and straighten them so looks like we will fab new rails. Fortunately on the regular they are straight so its cut to length and drill holes.

Thanks Skaning. Where are you located? I would think good frame rails could be found from a parts tractor or someone scraping one out. Much cheaper option in comparison of buying new metal.

For the regular, can you use F-20 rails?

I'm anxious to see it!

I watched part one and two, and I am in awe of your restoration ability!! 8) 8) 8) 8) And also a big thank you for documenting the restoration in such detail! Keep up the great work! I look forward to seeing it run and drive some day.

I want to know how many times somebody walked by the rear wheels and tore their shirt or hide on those gousers.

Jim--am amazed at how well you have documented this endeavor and can hardly wait to see it up and running! Thanks for sharing it! Steve

I believe f20 rails will work. There wasn"t a lot of difference at that level. We have a couple of parts tractors but the more we thought about it the less we wanted to rip another one down that far to retrieve the rails. Remember, the most compact storage for a vehicle is assembled. Son has enough flat-head Ford trucks half disassembled in that shop. Just didn"t need a second tractor spread over the landscape.
