$12k Minneapolis Moline

I thought some might be entertained by this tractor and its price.

Its in nice shape, but it is altered from original.

I had a couple industrials that weren't military. The reference to two transmissions could be a reverser and the standard transmission. I had a UTIL with Lull loader with the reverser.
I still think the price is high.

Manufacturer Minneapolis-Moline
Type Industrial tractor
Total built 357 (UTIL-M)

The UTI was the industrial version of the Minneapolis-Moline U. Several versions were built. The UTIL offered a six-speed shuttle. The UTIL-D used a diesel engine and was built from 1953 to 1959. The UTIL-M was for the US military and only built in 1953. The UMIL variant used a 340B-4 engine

There's no pic of the tag showing it's a UMIL. All four rears show uneven wear and the inside left rear is mounted backwards. $12,000 .... don't think so.

You guys know better the tire is on backwards so he can back out when he gets stuck on the tarmac.

It's been for sale for about 5-10 years. Not until recently did they even put a price on it.
