I know very little about MM. A friend has this tractor to be hauled off but I don't even know what it is. What am I looking at?

You have a model U on LP gas. Looks like a good project.

MMDEL · Dec 30, 2020

You said HAULED OFF I hope you don't mean scrap!!! That tractor is a 100% in better condition than 50% of the tractors that are restored. I have ten "U"s But I would buy it to save it. BUT I assume you are in Texas according to your Handle, and I am in Illinois.

thanks mmdel and Rich. It supposedly is free and will turn over but not start. like I said I'm not an MM person and certainly not ready to do LP but I don't want to see old iron scrapped. So it is a U, any idea on the year? I will follow up with potential new homes. Yes, I am in central Texas south of Austin.

Nice straight looking tractor.

MMDEL, where in Illinois are you located? I'm in Southern Illinois myself

Not sure if Texas Cowboy is on but he might know of a Ag student looking for a restore project.

Apx 1947 U with a somewhat dangerous attachment to the hydraulic lift rockshaft (cylinder is missing).

Advertise it and in the classifieds on this web site, if you don't find a taker here.

John, give me a call about the tractor. 830-391-3433

It is a model UTU on LP. With the 2 piece rear wheel centers and the large bolt pattern on the front hubs I'd say early 1950's model. If it still has a serial number tag it would be located on the right side of the transmission housing in front of the brake and above the belt pulley drive.

Mike, I planned on it after the 1st

An LP UTU and if the engine has a one piece block (one block for all four cylinders) it (the engine) is a 47 or older. 283 cubic inches.
