I know they was love hate relationship with them. I would have one I liked the looks of them too. Missed a chance to pick up a couple years back.

I have one, not running as of now. I always liked the looks of them. Have a 445 as well. I use that for cutting and raking hay.

I wanted one since I was a kid after I saw one at a threshing show, finally was able to get my hands on one last year and I'm working on getting it going now

I have a 335, 445, and 5-Star. I really like the Constellation series. What a leap forward for MM at the time from the R, Z, U series.

There is a 5-star for sale on craigslist:

Minneapolis Moline - $3,000 (Pittsburg)​

I have two LPs. Both Universals.

Dad bought one new in 1959. Was a Diesel w/narrow front wheels and w/power shift rear wheels and 4 bottom 3pt Plow. Boy did I plow many an acre with it. Years later my brothers sold it to local MM collector who is dead now, so do not know where it is now.
