Identifying Minneapolis Moline Plow Tractor

[xanadu1797]

Hi all,
new to the forum and was hoping to get some help with ID'ing a MM Plow that was bought from the City of New York by a car dealership in Brooklyn and found it's way to a farm in PA. To the best of my knowledge it was a 1950's era machine that was one of maybe 150 units custom ordered by NYC for alley plowing.
The styling looks similar to the UDLX 'Comfort Tractor which would've been built at least a decade earlier (if my dates are right).
Any advice on how to get more information on this obscure iron?

Welcome! What a cool find. No help with ID, but there are lots of MM forums "out there".

I'm putting all my chips on tractorbynet for now. However I did find an interesting lead on the link you posted. Apparently there is a company archive from Moline which was available for a while online but now doesn't seem to be...

My Grandpa had MM's and AC's. I seem to want every old one I see for sale. I don't see many old smallish MM's for sale. I've only got one old tractor now, an AC D-17. I fixed up and used a Ford 9N for about 10 years (hunting food plots), but I didn't have "a connection" to it, so it got sold before I moved to Iowa.

Could be a 335 or 435. Industrial models were Big Mo 300 and Big Mo 400
