Lp molines

1948 mm · Oct 8, 2014

I was just wondering what was the smallest moline tractor to come out from the factory with lp. I may build a r sometime but I would like a lp head but I'm not sure if they made one or not. Thanks

Yes, they made one lp R that was a prototype, and I own it. We have factory photos of it. To my knowledge, the R was the smallest lp tractor Moline made.

That's interesting Doug. I didn't know of an R lp. Must be a late R? Photo?

I think an lp head from a ZA should bolt onto to an R. The 335 (successor to the R) was made with factory lp in the late 50's. Was the ZT available on factory lp?

There is (was) a R on LP in Casa Grande, AZ that was restored years back as a FFA project. I helped them with several minor parts. The grandson of the owner claimed it was factory LP but it looked like it could have been a nice dealer conversion to me. Either way it is the only one I have ever seen (since Doug has not posted photos of his :wink: )
