I'd love to have an RTI-M almost bought one at an auction last year. Bought a UTIL-M that I'm restoring instead. Would love to know the SN and any other info on the tractors you would be willing to share. I've got a spreadsheet going trying to keep track of as many as I can. Please pm me if...

I'm restoring a 1953 Minneapolis Moline UTIL-M tractor that I believe was used as a tug. I have 3 of them, 2 have Army Corps of Engineers tags the other one is Navy. It has an air brake system and a Warner Electric Brake 4209HS brake controller on it. Does anyone have info on what type of brake...

Bringing back an old thread. I have 3 of the military Minneapolis Molines. One ZASI like above and 2 UTIL-M tractors. All were Army Corps of Engineers tags. I've been compiling a list of remaining ZASI, RTI'-M, and UTIL-M tractors remaining. I know of around 25 ZASI's, just a handful of...

Ok so what is MVM?

I have 4 of these generators. 2 are Minneapolis Moline, 1 Mission Water Heater, and one O'keefe & Merritt. Currently 1 runs, 2 should run, and one is free but will turn over 350 degrees and hits something. Not sure if there is a stuck valve or something. I do have some spare parts. Extra...

We were out observing and taking pictures of the meteor shower last night and my friend had me pose my Deuce and Minneapolis Moline ZASI Army Corps of Engineers Tractor. He is one talented guy!

I'm across the river from you, other side of I376 from Hopewell off rt151.

I have to admit I didn't read everything here, but I did see a couple of posts that have the same thing I was thinking. In another forum I'm a member of, we have an 'opt-in' section. Anything goes. When you agree to have that section visible for you to view, you also agree that (nearly)...

Used it for the local school mascot to stand on and welcome home the girls basketball team after winning the championship! Fire dept gave them an escort through town too.

Drove one from there to Pittsburgh about 6 weeks ago. Long ride on the turnpike.

I wouldn't spend that much on one, but I know many people that would. ( I think they must have more money than they know what to do with, but unfortunately every penny of my money is accounted for :? ) Then again there's no way I'd spend $30K on a new jeep either, and thousands of people do.

I picked up an Army Corps of Engineers Minneapolis Moline ZASI tractor. Number 492 of 515 ever made. Looking for some help from the knowledgable folks on here. I want to restore it back to as original as I can. They were also made for the Air Force and Navy too. Here is the data plate (click...

I've done it a couple times. Put a vid on here too. 1st low, in the 8000lb open diesel class I pulled a 250', top of the class was 305', I was in the middle of the pack. Not bad considering the top trucks were probably close to 1000hp, and my deuce is stock 134hp. My front tires were 6" off...

I'm near the PGH airport.
