    1951 Minneapolis Moline ZASI restoration

    I'd love to have an RTI-M almost bought one at an auction last year. Bought a UTIL-M that I'm restoring instead. Would love to know the SN and any other info on the tractors you would be willing to share. I've got a spreadsheet going trying to keep track of as many as I can. Please pm me if...

    1953 Tug/Tractor info Hunting

    I'm restoring a 1953 Minneapolis Moline UTIL-M tractor that I believe was used as a tug. I have 3 of them, 2 have Army Corps of Engineers tags the other one is Navy. It has an air brake system and a Warner Electric Brake 4209HS brake controller on it. Does anyone have info on what type of brake...

    Farm Tractors in Military Service

    Bringing back an old thread. I have 3 of the military Minneapolis Molines. One ZASI like above and 2 UTIL-M tractors. All were Army Corps of Engineers tags. I've been compiling a list of remaining ZASI, RTI'-M, and UTIL-M tractors remaining. I know of around 25 ZASI's, just a handful of...

    1943 M5 Generator

    I have 4 of these generators. 2 are Minneapolis Moline, 1 Mission Water Heater, and one O'keefe & Merritt. Currently 1 runs, 2 should run, and one is free but will turn over 350 degrees and hits something. Not sure if there is a stuck valve or something. I do have some spare parts. Extra...

    So, what's the one thing you'd change?

    I have to admit I didn't read everything here, but I did see a couple of posts that have the same thing I was thinking. In another forum I'm a member of, we have an 'opt-in' section. Anything goes. When you agree to have that section visible for you to view, you also agree that (nearly)...

    New trailer maker to start production in Ohio.

    I wouldn't spend that much on one, but I know many people that would. ( I think they must have more money than they know what to do with, but unfortunately every penny of my money is accounted for :? ) Then again there's no way I'd spend $30K on a new jeep either, and thousands of people do.

    1951 Minneapolis Moline ZASI restoration

    I picked up an Army Corps of Engineers Minneapolis Moline ZASI tractor. Number 492 of 515 ever made. Looking for some help from the knowledgable folks on here. I want to restore it back to as original as I can. They were also made for the Air Force and Navy too. Here is the data plate (click...

    sled pull

    I've done it a couple times. Put a vid on here too. 1st low, in the 8000lb open diesel class I pulled a 250', top of the class was 305', I was in the middle of the pack. Not bad considering the top trucks were probably close to 1000hp, and my deuce is stock 134hp. My front tires were 6" off...

    Any MV trails in PA?

    Rausch Creek Big Dogs (about 4 rides per year, duece would be a bit big on the trails) Rock Run near Altoona And there are several places about 1-2 hrs east of Pittsburgh that have runs about once a month. That's probably getting a bit far for you. Picture in my avatar is from Wellsville OH...

    What's your Deuces' name?

    My wife called it "The Flying Dutchman" after the boat in Pirates of the Caribbean. I guess cause it's big, green and kinda ugly (at least she thinks so) Plus she named my black pickup truck The Black Pearl, so it's following in suit.

    Broken shifter assembly part

    Well I just welded up the old one. Drove it last night. Seems to work pretty well, time will tell I guess. Before: After: It looks stronger than the factory side. I wrapped the weld all the way around into good metal. Then took a grinder and file and cut it back into shape. I'm...

    Broken shifter assembly part

    Thanks! Pretty obvious what happened when I took it apart. I'm contemplating welding it back together, probably with some reinforcement. I have the piece that broke off, and can use the good side to get measurements from. Worst case I can try, then pony up the $ the dealers are wanting for a...
