Minneapolis Moline identification

[Tireguy71]

My first Minne Mo. Given to me by a neighbor as payment. No idea what model, or even what year. All I have I've the tag numbers. Serial number 01905833. Where can I look for this info? Also, the tag reads 4 1/4 X 5. What is this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Serial tag is on transmission housing. The one you found is motor tag.

 

[X-Y switch]

That is a 283 cu. in., must be a "U" of some sort. Or maybe a 5 star. Do you sit on top of the rear end or behind it?

Tractor ID tag would be on
transmission housing. If it is a hand
clutch: likely it is a "U ". Tag
near clutch lever.

That is an engine serial # from a 1950 U model.
