Summary

Formed in 1929, Minneapolis-Moline built its reputation on high-compression engines, heated cabs, and its "Prairie Gold" color scheme. In addition to reviewing the most collectible "Minny Mo's", this illustrated guide features complete descriptions of options, specs, components, paint codes, serial numbers, and design changes. A price guide tells what to look for and what to avoid in each model. The author, who has written for numerous tractor and agricultural journals, also highlights common repair and restoration needs.
