Minneapolis-Moline Model U Tractor

The Minneapolis Moline Model U was a three to four plow tractor rated at 42 horsepower.  For the time, the MM Model U had an impressive speed range, a five forward speed gear box gave the driver a choice of a maximum of 2.7 in the lowest gear and a very useful 20.3 m.p.h. in high gear.  That together with good manoeuvrability for a large powerful tractor provided by two internal-expanding differential brakes, is perhaps the reason why it proved very popular as a contractors tractor.
