What have you been working on??

SWMolines · Apr 6, 2020

It has been a long winter and now we are all told to stay at home. There should be lots of time available to turn wrenches out in the shop? Post a few photos of your projects.

This is the '39 RTU I got running recently and installed some new rubber on it.

Wrong flavor! 1959 830. I like talking to the Minneapolis Moline guys better. Keep them pictures coming in on yours!! Can t wait

I've been working on my 1964 u302, 1966
jet star 3 and 1966 m670. The u302 got a
new engine and upgraded torque. Working
on axle and brake seals now. The jet star
3 also got a torque, brake and axle
seals. The m670 got a different front
axle last fall. Finally had time to deal
with moving the knees and tie rods out.
It also got a replacement water pump and
some new seat cushions.

We got a call on this one last fall. Thought we couldn?t resist getting it back home, needless to say it?s on the top of the list with the goal on having it running by May 1.
Need some 32 inch tires. It was in camo but check out the serial number. I like the last photo with my brother and nephew admiring the new to us find .

dnd · Apr 6, 2020

Any other parts would help too. Or leads as to where we can call Thanks

Haven't gotten to work on a single one of my winter projects yet. Did a valve job on a 901 Ford, put an amplitorc in an M5, rebuilt an engine for a Jetstar 3 super, now currently doing mechanical restoration of a 1950 RTU. Got to work on everyone else's stuff this winter. Will be time to work on something of mine next. Need to put brakes in my G950, and swap to 38" wheels on the back. Probably next on the list now that it is nice out will be to clean up skid row a bit. Need to part out and get a few of them out of here. The line up is getting too big.

53ZBU- What paint did you use on this one? unc

WOW! Nice find.
My Minnies are 250 miles away, but there is a JD AR in the garage. Hmmmmm. unc

Dennis P · Apr 7, 2020

I have some painting to do. Mechanical work done.
Just trying to figure out what to do with it this spring
when I?m done!

SWMolines · Apr 7, 2020

I see lots of cool projects sitting in "skid row".

Dennis P · Apr 7, 2020

SW- are you located in sw Missouri and do you pull?

Mike Groom · Apr 7, 2020

Been working on a 1955 Mercury Montclair 2 door hard top,does that count? It starts with M. LOL

wilson ind · Apr 7, 2020

Your son still live close and working with you on m-m's

53ZBU · Apr 7, 2020

Central Tractor Moline Gold from back when TSC took them over and quit carrying it, went around the area and bought up the last 8 gallons, only got 1 left now.

ChrisQ · Apr 7, 2020

SW molines: that is actually a picture from last summer. Skid row has changed some. Some need new homes, some need to be fixed, some need to be tucked in the shed, some need to be parted out. I think there are 3 Jetstar 3 supers, two G950's, a G1050, a G1000 Vista, a red nose UTS, a 4 star, two M670 Supers, M602, M5, and a U302 Super sitting out there right now.

TurboG1355 · Apr 7, 2020

Does anybody have a G955 with a bad
engine or needs work doesn't matter what
version it is yellow red or green

SWMolines · Apr 8, 2020

Hi Bill! He lives in Texas now but did get back to AZ last Oct to play with the toys some. He is already making plans to come out again in 2020.

Sodak farmer · Apr 8, 2020

Working on power steering, worm box and 3- point. Also gauges on M5 as I have a little time.
Rewired and replaced head gasket on CJ-2A. While not a moline, it can be argued that MM made the first jeep. The CJ s were marketed as farm helpers with many equipped with pto and other options for farm work.

VicS · Apr 8, 2020

Can't believe I don't have a U with a big
engine. Pulled a U with a 6 in. Crank back
in 67 68. Now I'm working on a 57 D17
Allis Diesel. Who would have thought.

Whiskey Bent · Apr 8, 2020

I have been working on my zau that my great grandfather bought new. I was able to buy it after being gone from the family since 1967. Completely cleaned out rearend, replaced all the seals, new clutch, new clutch brake, rear main seal, flipped ring gear around, and have started repairing a fender. I m still working so not getting as much done as I would like. Other pictures aren t a Minnie but it is yellow! My 17 year old son wants to start dirt track racing this summer so we are building him an endro car to race.

UB-ToMMy · Apr 10, 2020

Wow!!!! What a find. I'd say you have your work cut out for you on that one. An owner's serial number list I saw had this posted for: 310522 ? Rising Sun, Wisconsin -----ie. no name but someone knew it existed.
Russell Johnson may have some parts to get started with. There were a ton of aftermarket parts made for the tractor but don't know whether or not a lot of them are still available. I've had a few made.

Nice. Here is my 37

morepower02 · Apr 10, 2020

New rear rubber is in need for the G706 so that is on the short list.

SWMolines · Apr 15, 2020

I also got my M-M (West Bend) chainsaw running.

thehickdaddy · Apr 15, 2020

J.Wondergem · Apr 15, 2020

Not a Moline but a Cockshutt 540. Had to replace the flywheel hub for the PTO and replace the PTO clutch pack.

Rich'sToys · Apr 15, 2020

Pulled my 445 into the shop. Need to pull the starter off and have it looked at. Also new sediment bowl leaking. Tried tightening up the nut and that made it worse. May just end up replacing it again.
