I have always wanted to see what one of these looks like. They are referenced in several MM books, yet none of these books have had a picture or drawing of one. If anyone has a picture of this unique MM, could they send it to me? or better yet, post it to the photo galeries section so we all can see it?

Reddog,
Are you referring to the mail delivery special model with the high arched wide front end and cab? If so, its unknown how many were made but its generally believed they were made sometime in 1939-40

I saw a couple pictures of the R mail delivery tractor at a MM get together. it looked like a cabbed R witha high clearance wide front with racks to hold mailbags on each side. I thought it would be fun to fabricate a replica.

I too have wondered about making one.....it's strange to think that no one has made a replica to date that we know of anyway....maybe this would be a great project for someone...any volunteers?.....there is also an excellant picture of one of these tractors in the Minneapolis moline 1910-1959 data book no.2 by Alan King...on page 33..it says the tyractor had 4 forward speeds with a top end of 19 mph, automotive worm and sector type steering with a 9 ft turning radius..and new disc type brakes for greater fafety and comfort..it also list several other options and has a nice little write up about the tractor...the picture also showa a liscense plate on the front of the tractor

Holy cow! I don't believe I have heard of this model before. Someone must know something. One of a kind I would think.

Good chance that it was one of a kind. Took some pictues of it and then??? MM tried alot of different things, like a 21-32 half track. More than likely made one or two, tested, photoed, and then moved on. Mike
