Robert, my grandpa had one when I was younger. I still have pictures of it, as well as another picture of someone else's 1926 17-30B. I believe the one that my grandpa had, had the original paint by the look of it. The majority of it was gray, with the wheels, and radiator red. The wheels had yellow pinstriped going up and down the spokes, and the radiator had "The Minneapolis" painted in white. Don't quote me one this if it is original or not. The other picture I have has the majority of it gray, green fenders, red wheels, and the letters painted red on the radiator. My book says they had gray engines and chassis, light gray tin work, green fenders, and red wheels. Sometime in the future, I would like to get the tractor back. I don't remember a lot about it but I know that engine had so much of a temper when you start it, that my grandpa switched from cranking it on the crank to turning the flywheel to get it started, like a John Deere. He got hit in the leg once by the crank and he injured himself. I would like to get the majority of my grandpas tractors back, but I doubt that's possible.
