MM Thresher

It's not a combine but but you don't see this brand often. I picked this Minneapolis Moline thresher up at an auction just 15 miles from my home last weekend. I always thought I knew where all the MM stuff was around here but didn't know about this. Neither did anyone else. Been in a barn so it is in pretty good shape. I managed to back it into a shed on Sunday.

There was a similar one owned by the West Central Antique Power Collectors.

Shows it on their page. Wheels had been cut down and had tires on it. The club stored it in my late Dad's shed for a number of years so I saw it in there many times. Club lost their show site and had to liquidate their collection and that thresher was sold at auction in 2016.

Nice pickup Roger. Now My question. Do you think on these later Threshers M-M painted the galvanize with silver paint or did the owners later on do it? I have had 4 of these 28" Specials over the years. 3 were all galvanize yet one was painted over and it was the latest serial number. The one in my collection was never painted over, nor was the one I donated to K&O.

On the Gleaner combines the factory had someone on the assembly line dab silver paint over the bolt heads on the grain elevators and bolts on the bin.
 
Very nice thresher! I would like to throw some bundles through that machine. I have 8 Case threshers and one Belle City...use to put on a threshing show here but help is hard to find now. Wife and I did three acres a couple years ago with a 22-36 Case and the Belle City 28-46.

I have no idea. I tried rotating them and then posting but they turned upside down every time. I waited a day to post, same thing. Never could get them to post right side up.
 
Don't know, didn't look the paint/tin over that close. It was 15 miles from home and in decent shape. Thought the K & O Club could use a back up.
