    MT-40 torque convertor oil

    We are working on my MT-40 MM tug and troubleshooting why it doesn't want to move in cold weather. After taking the floorboards off discovered the fill plug was gone off the torque converter and has a good amount of water in it. That is being drained and will get flushed but need to know what...

    Brown belly G-1000

    This one is in nice shape. Had 23.1x34 tires on it and the guy I bought it from put on 18.4x34's and the cast iron cone hubs for duals. Diesel pump was stuck on it but we had just rebuilt one for our G-1050 so popped that on it and she fired right up. Seat and 3 point was already off it and...

    Brown belly G-1000

    Thanks for the thoughts. This G-1000 is in such nice shape other than the ring/pinion issue so I hate to not fix it. Will come back with more questions as we get further into it.

    Brown belly G-1000

    I have heard that the early brown belly G-1000's were prone to rear end issues. We bought one this fall that has issues. Just got it running so we are trying to determine if the engine will go to another project or we will try and save this G-1000. After digging into it a bit we can see the...

    Moline tug

    That sure looks like ours. Seat is add on and some one put a long shifter on ours. Took the pic last night but tough to do inside a small barn.

    Moline tug

    Bought a Moline tug this summer and cannot find a serial number tag on it. Engine is an overhead valve style MM 4 cylinder and I am thinking it is a MT-40. Haven't checked if the engine tag is on it as I can't get to it where I parked it for the winter. The Minneapolis-Moline logo on it is...

    425 LP engine swap

    Good to know. Never even thought about the no live pto. I really like my 900 and don't want to park it. I like having a non-diesel for backup when it gets real cold here.

    425 LP engine swap

    Curious if a 425 LP engine from a G-VI is a direct bolt in for a 425 LP engine in a G-900. I have a G-900 LP as my backup loader tractor and the engine was weak when I bought it years ago - ran into a take out LP engine from a G-VI that is available. My other question would be if not a direct...

    MM Parts sign

    Thanks for compliments guys. Not for sale as it is definitely the crown jewel of our collection. Got a shot to buy it when a friend who is a collector of everything knew another dealer who had it and was going to move it. Paid more for it than 90% of the tractors we have but it is in really...

    MM Parts sign

    We picked this sign up this summer and didn't get any information with it. It has fluorescent bulbs in it and works. I am guessing 1940's to 50's era but was wondering if anyone remembers one and how it was set up at the dealerships. This one currently has chain to hang it but I thought I...

    MM Auction on Saturday

    I wish I had that kind of dedication. Worried about you hauling that dualled up 705 when it was getting dark. You are going to have to invest in a semi if you are going to buy volume tonnage like that. 3 loads and you said it was 480 miles one way. That is almost 1,000 miles by my math...

    MM Auction on Saturday

    Alan - No doors and about 1/2 the windows are in it. You are more than welcome to it. We are in west central ND. Had thought about going to the winter show in Charles City this winter but a lot of things have to fall in place for that. Projects keep piling up and winter is coming.

    MM Auction on Saturday

    We talked with Nick (the owner of all the stuff) late in the auction and he thought the tractors would have sold better by starting them. I am not sure any of the 4 I bought would have started very easily so I am guessing Ritchie Bros nixed that idea. The G-VI we got had a battery from July...

    MM Auction on Saturday

    Alan - From that distance the cab doesn't look too bad but my plans are to cut it off then use it to fill up with scrap metal as it is a POS. The cab on the 705 is an Excel I think. Not quite as crappy but nothing worth keeping. Bruce.

    MM Auction on Saturday

    Attended a large auction (100+ tractors and carcasses) in SW North Dakota on Saturday. Had a good day as we bought 4 tractors and a corn planter. Got to meet Lance from eastern Wyoming and several other MM fans. Prices were a bit soft on the tractors but nothing very rare there. M-602 diesel...
