Not 100% sure but as there is a Lamborghini in the background I would suspect the picture
comes from Italy or near area. If so the tractor could be an OM. OM built industrial
tractors and in 1933 was taken over by Fiat. Between 1960 and the 1970's Fiat were
producing a range of tractors badged OM, there was the OM513, OM513, OM615, up to the OM750
and OM850.

I have never seen one or heard of the make until today. Learnt something else. Thanks

The one looking at us appears to be a Low Band Minnie Moline with a standard non adjustable front axle.
 
My first thought was that it was taken at my cousins in southern Missouri. I see 2 MM, a pinstripe White, a wood pallet, a Dodge Dakota, and maybe a NH haybine on the fence line. The puzzling part is the roof framing is too consistent.
 
It is a real puzzler. I have not seen an MM with a badge that says MO or OM on the front but neither does the tractor look exactly like pictures of an OM on the web although the colour and the air cleaner position is exactly right.

White with a blue stripe and that shape of cab shouts Lamborghini at me but, again I could be wrong.

I guess we shall never know but it it is great to try and find out.
 
The rust would pass for the early 60?s MM. Not sure about the MO badge. Maybe a Mickey Mouse outfit.

By golly DB, I think you're onto something!

I blew up the photo in my files to zoom in on the back tractor. Here's the results....perfect match!

And when you posted that MM tractor, this one has the SAME front axle, SAME fenders, same everything.....other than the logo. So can't even begin to theorize on the story behind that one!!
