Maybe some of you read the posts on Tractor Talk that I made but I'll repeat here.

What are the different versions of the MM "R"?

Was there a plain R made or what are the letters of the "R"?

Thinking of trying to find a "R" because when I was I kid that was the first tractor I drove.

Dad used MM when I was a youngun.

We always just called the one we had a R.

Don't remember for sure what we had 42 years ago.

Thanks for any infro, Gary.

I have a RTU in good running condition. New tires on back. Tin is straight & good condition. Need paint job and ready for a show.
Might be willing to part with it-- currently looking at another tractor.

Hi Gary. Did you ever go to Amana, Homestead, on Fathers Day weekend for the MM show, gettogether? There is always Rs at that show. I haven't made it over for the last two shows, maybe next year. My friend Vernon has an RTU with the cab. He used to leave it there in the old lumber yard and know he has moved it over to Shants's MM museum. Vernon is a member of the Amana MM club. He used to buy all of his MM stuff at Homestead. Vernon lives near Elberon. Charley.

Charley I've been there before but not this year.

I live justa few miles from there.

Might try to catch it next year.

That show happens sometimes and it's over before I even know about it.

Don't know where it's advertized but here locally we don't here anything about it in the local papers.

John I'm not trying to be mean here in any way but come next summer I will forget all about it.

I and most all other farmers around here do not get the MM magazines but would maybe go if we knew about it or were reminded of it a week or two before.

Local attendance would be better if ads were posted somewhere.

Just my thoughts Gary

There are several R types. I am not an expert like many on this site however, the basic ones are RTU (with 2 wheels close together in the front) RTN (with a single front wheel) RTS with stand front end)RTE (with extendable front wheels) and RTI (Industrial with heavyduty front axles and wheels). Hope that helps at least a little.

Thanks Jerry

By what your saying we had a RTU.

Narrow front with two wheels.

Now I know what to look for in ads.

I got 3 old IHs, now it's time for the MM.

Dad traded the one MM U for a Farmall 560 in 1959 and that was the start of the change from MM to IH for us.The other U was traded on a 460 in 1961. Traded the RTU for a 350 in 1965
And he sold the ZB with wide front in 1967 the last of the MM for us.

Thanks Again Gary
