Hi, I have an old MM RTI that was my Dads. It runs and drives but needs a restoration. I have looked up some info on it and I found that only 66 of these were made in 1955. Is this correct? Is this a tractor that would have some value if restored? Thank you for your help. I may want to sell it because I have too many other projects:)Kurt

Looks like your dad also modified the hood to run a straight muffler stack. Perhaps due to restrictions with the loader. Its too bad that you don't have time to redo this one, it looks like it would be trually distinctive tractor to run around on.

I would say that the tractor may have value ue to the fact it is a RTI. Although RTI were the second most common tractors made in the "R" series. I have a 1945 RTI that I have just about finished and find that the value has more signifigance to me than maybe the common tractor collector, due to the emotional bond I have with it. What is the item on the back of the tractor?

The box on the back of the tractor is filled with concrete for ballast. The loader can lift a lot and My dad added weight to the back at one time.
