Reconnaissance photos have proved the tractor I've seen sitting for quite some time is a MM G 850 diesel that has been repainted green and has 1855 decals. The yellow paint is showing through and you can see the original MM decals.

Has anyone ever figured out how many of these may have been built? According to the "Progress in Tractor Power" book they were only made in 1971. A friend of mine took the photos, one of us probably should have this piece! I thought ShepVA or someone posted a picture of one a while back? WB.

My neighbor here in east central Indiana has a G850 diesel. He is the second owner. I have a picture of it on the NH baler around here somewhere...

My late uncle had a Minni-Mo G850. I've been told it's the same as an Oliver 1755. Darrell's was a gasser, low hours as it was the power tractor on an 80 acre farm it's whole life. I have no idea how many were made, as this is the only one I've ever seen.

Hey John,
I heard a story several years ago, about a bunch of repainted tractors that White had stored in Ohio. Apparently, the market was for green, so, they had them redone, and sold them. On occasion I see Olivers with a little Prarie Gold showing thru. At first I thought that was yellow zinc oxide primer, but was told different. My guess is these will become collectable, just like the white Farmalls.

Our Oliver dealer has a repainted G850 and says 1755, but it has the Moline grille in it. Story goes that an Oliver dealer retailed it to a customer in 71, but the guy would only buy it Oliver green....as a 1755. Those tractors are out there though, some are harder to find:)

Hi WB. a G850 is a 1755 a G 940 is a 1855. I guess if it was repainted it could be anything. Get the spec and serial #. I can help, but maryann in charles city would help you greatly.
You told me about this tractor this spring ,glad to hear you made progress. I was told around 212 G750's were built. I would bet less of the others were made. In my life I have seen 7 G750's 2 G550's 1 G850 and no G940's
