Sometimes, I have to just go back through the archives and grab something interesting. This is one of those days when I didn’t have a brand-new image to share so I pulled this up.
The tractor shown here is from the Cotton Gin Festival in Bostwick, Georgia. There were lots and lots of John Deere tractors but this one was different. I’m not a farm boy so, maybe it’s not all that unusual but I don’t recall ever seeing a Minneapolis Moline tractor before.
Minneapolis-Moline was formed in 1929 as a merger between three companies: Minneapolis Steel & Machinery, Minneapolis Threshing Machine and Moline Plow. The company produced tractors and farm machinery in the Minneapolis, MN area and Moline, IL up until its acquisition by White Motor Co in 1963. The brand continued under White until 1974 when the last Minneapolis-Moline was produced.
