Anyone ID this tractor?

[LisaMay]

Hi, My father recently has passed on after 65 years of farming. We have since found some treasures namely old pictures. I have a picture of him on an unknown tractor. It is MM (minn moline) but that is all we know. The photo is b&w and no one remembers the tractor and it has long since gone to the bone yard. ANY information would be helpful. This picture was taken around 1959 here in Wisconsin. Thats about all we known but am very curious about the tractor. The url is to my msn spaces the tractor pics are to the right in a "photo" album. If you have problems viewing just advise, I can email or try to post the pics here. Thank you ...Lisa M

Looks like an early 5 Star to me.

That's a 5 Star and my neighbor had one among all his other MM's. It would talk all day with a 3/16" Plow in the heavy Gumbo we had in North CFentral ILL. and with the Hills most of Wisc. has I would say that he pulled a 3/14" or a 3/16" plow for sure. A good type of Tractor for the General Farms of Wisc. and ILL.in that era. Your Picture brings back a lot of Memories from when I Farmed at Marseilles Ill.
