Ken Christensen of Westport, WA purchased a Four Drive Tractor Model 20-35 in 1996 from Vincent Barney of Tenino, WA, which is located about 15 miles south of Olympia.

The tractor was originally located in Georgia, moved to Wisconsin and then spent a number of years at the Arthur Bright Nursery & Museum in LeGrand, CA south of Merced.

Vincent purchased the Fitch 20-35 tractor at an auction in California in 1988 and moved it to Washington State. In 1989 shortly after purchasing it, he suffered a stroke and was unable to restore the tractor. The tractor spent about 10 years in a berry patch on his farm. Mr. Barney received numerous offers to sell the tractor but each time, he stated that he would not sell it. One of Ken's friends called Ken after he visited Vincent and said that Ken stood a very good chance at purchasing the tractor by the comments that Vincent made regarding why he did not want to part with the tractor. Ken showed Vincent some photos of a couple of other tractors that he had restored. Vincent liked what he saw and said he would sell the tractor to him; however, the price was a lot higher than what Ken had expected. Vincent also had a few old Rumley tractors on the farm, so Ken offered to take two of the Rumleys and the Fitch for the same price. Vincent excepted this offer and Ken moved the tractor to his business (KC Trucking and Reliable Blacksmith Shop) in Aberdeen, WA. Ken had the tractor running at a tractor show just 9 days after purchasing it. Ken had called Vincent prior to the show to tell him he would have the tractor there in running condition.  Vincent was able to attend the show and was very pleased when he saw what Ken had done.

Ken has since fully restored the tractor. He completely sandblasted it and gave it a fresh paint job. One bearing on the worm drive to the rear axle and the steering chain had to be replaced. A new clutch friction and part of the intake to the carburetor had to be made as well as a hood. Ken also added pads to the front wheels so that the tractor would have traction when he drove it on asphalt.

The manufacturer's plate is missing, so the full identity of the tractor is unknown. The tractor features a Climax engine. Based upon the style of the tractor (the oval shaped gas tank) when compared to photographs of other Four Drive Tractors, it appears to be a Model 20-35 from about 1920 to 1929.  It is very similar in style to F.E. Bishop's Model D 20-35 on display at the Gunnedah Rural Museum in Australia.
