    m670 overhaul

    In addition to the sources already mentioned, I've also had some luck finding later model Minneapolis-Moline engine parts at Howard Enterprises located in Iowa and Indiana.

    twin cities sheet metal

    There was a guy by the name of Robert Lefevere in Pennsylvania that used to make reproduction fenders for a variety of tractors including Twin City. He used to be at Mt Pleasant every year, but I haven't seen him for a couple of years. His phone number was (717)548-4131. Not sure if he's still...

    Steiner Sterring Wheels

    We put one on my brothers "41 UTU; we had to open up the hole on the steering wheel just a little bit with a Dremel; not much though. Looks good, but a little smaller in diameter like Gengrich said. UTU steers easy so no worries.

    UB Diesel Fuel Filters Available ??

    The only place I could find one was through an AGCO dealer and I think it cost around $60 about 5 yrs ago. Have you tried Welters?

    ZTE how rare?

    According to my books there were 12 made in 1947 and 700 made in 1948 and this one would be a "48. I"ve only seen one in person and it was in a similar condition to the one you"re describing. I kind of like the adjustable wide fronts so I would probably place a higher premium on those than...

    Twin City 18-30

    That serial number should make it a 1929. As far as value is concerned, I've seen a few advertised on the photo ads of this website for $5000-$6000 and from what I can see they are a slow or no sell at that price. We have had 2 recent auctions here in Missouri where running and painted 17-28's...

    Twin City 18-30

    Are you sure you have the model numbers right? Minneapolis Steel & Machinery did build a Twin City 16-30 and those are quite rare and desirable. Other Twin Citys were the 12-20, 17-28, 21-32, 20-35, 27-44 not to mention the heavyweights from the teens like the TC15, TC40, and TC60. Also once...

    GBD pump

    Central Fuel Injection in Estherville, Iowa (712-362-4200) rebuilt the American Bosch PSB pump on my UBED and did a good job at a fair price.

    tractors

    The value would depend on condition and location. Also, if you could post the serial numbers from the tags on the transmissions it would be helpful for identifying the tractors. If you can"t find the transmission tags, posting the engine serial numbers may help.

    moline gtbd

    Yes, the block can handle the .125 overbore. We used the original UBED connecting rods. I can't remember what the pistons cost and I am deployed overseas right now and I can't check the receipt. I will be back in just over a week and can check then, or you can just call Welters. They will...

    moline gtbd

    My UBED has the 4-cylinder version of the 425, which is a 283 Diesel. The GTBD, GBD,and Gvi have the 425 Diesel. We bored it .125 over and installed new G-900 pistons from Welter's in Verona, Missouri (417) 498-6496. These pistons would bump the displacement up to 451 in your Gvi.

    moline gtbd

    I would say it would be worth $1000-$1500 depending on location. They didn"t make very many GTBD"s but most of the parts are common to the more plentiful GBD"s. Another word of caution though, be prepared to put quite a bit of money into that engine. We are finishing up our UBED which has a 4...
