Minneapolis Moline

I saved an old M M from the wrecking yard. It is not that bad. The model # 4 1/4x5283a4 serial # 0194803398 Can anyone tell anything about this tractor, year? model. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Larry Milligan Hanover On. email [email protected]
 
U or Ub That is the engine #. Look by the right hand break on side of trans. for tractor ser.# Then post it here and we will tell you yr and model.
 
My book shows that engine being used in a '49 model tractor. It would then be a model U. (assuming the engine has not been transplanted in another unit. The tractor ID tag will be as previously stated: on transmission housing just forward of the right brake (sitting in seat)
 
Well my list shows an 019 prefix means "283-4A TRACTOR ENGINE (UT) GAS" and the 48 indicates the engine was built in 1948. It could have been put in a late 48 or early 49 tractor I guess or a replacement engine in any year tractor. As noted the tractor S/N plate should be on the side of the transmission. MM only put the year in the S/Ns in 48, 49, & early 50. UB tractors did not start til 1953.

Thanks a lot fellows for your help. Looked for that plate on transmission and there she was. Model UTS Serial # 0124800901. Wondering about weight and hp also? Thanks Larry Milligan Hanover On Canada
 
Well the 901st one built in 1948. Tractordata.com listed the Nebraska test one in 1938 and came up with 41 HP at the belt and 39 HP at the drawbar. And also show 6000 pounds weight. I know I warped a 7K car hauling trailer with a UBU back in the day. By the way the "S" means wide fixed front end. U is tricycle, E is wide adjustable, and N is single front wheel.
