There is a Minneapolis Moline Vista LP on ebay. Were there many Vista's made with cabs, or did most have fenders? How many of the LP's were made?
 
I don't have vista numbers in front of me right now. I believe that is the aftermarket cab made by Egging. We had a G900 with one and it was just like that.

Cabs were available for them as they are in the literature. Technically from the factory...maybe not but Ive always called them factory cabs if they are in the literature if you can order it as such. This is from 6-67. These were the first cabs that were used on them. The later ones had I believe Crenlo cabs that were more like the 50 series.

Alan I am with you on that! I have 2 later vistas that have the crenlos cabs and a friend of mine has one with the cab that is in the picture and I am sure they left the factory with them so I call them factory cabs.
 
A factory installed cab was available for the Vista starting in 1969. I assume this was the Crenlo cab. the 1970 dealer order price guide lists this factory installed cab for $995 with heater, air conditioner and HD alternator all being extra cost. There was also another cab available prior to that that was not factory installed. I assume that is the one Alan pictured above. The 1968 dealer price order guide lists this non-factory installed cab for $669. There were 71 LP and 174 Diesel factory installed cabs.

Anyone have a quick hitch like that, or seen one, I never have. Was that a factory mm hitch, I take it, it was
 
I believe we have a 3 point like the one pictured. We use it on our M670 super at times.
And I learned something about the MM cabs today.
I guess the wheatland G1000's had factory cabs too?
 
Ive seen one or two of the quick hitches, never been able to buy one though. I did sit in a G1000 Wheatland once that had a Crenlo cab on it.
 
We had two MM quick couplers...Got one with our new 1967 M-670 and the other with our new 1968 G-900..
 
The Machinery Price list dated April 1, 1966 lists cabs for the following tractors: M5, M602, U302, U302 Super, M670, M670 Super, G1000 Row Crop, & G1000 Wheatland. It also lists cabs for Gvi, G705, G706, G707, G708 all with or without 3 point hitch. All these cabs are priced FOB Meade, KS. All are shown "Not Inst.". The Jet Star 3, Jet Star 3 Super & Jet Star 3 Industrial are also in this price list but show no cab available.
The same Quick Coupler for the three point hitch is shown for use on all the tractors with Tel-O-Flo systems as well as the G705, G706, G707, G708.
It is interesting to me that the M602, M604, G705 & G706 as well as the non-super models are still priced in this price list.
