I had a friend who has long since passed away who used to tell me how he hated plowing when he was a kid. He put the front wheel in the furrow and just sat there until time to turn around. He said to pass the time he dreamed about what farming would be like in fifty years. He said in his wildest imagination he never dreamed there would be an air conditioned tractor.
simply amazing and I love old tractors. 🥰 seems like today when the key people fade away these ideas get taken over by the big guys or are just lost forever. 😎 thanks a lot.
Beautiful Tractor there was a time when MM was a heavy hitter in the industry, built very good reliable tractors! I think it kind of neat how MM tried to get the propane tank to blend into the lines of the tractor, it seemed everyone else always had this big ugly bulbous appendage sticking out!
Minneapolis Moline tractor's stands for a lot of things like horsepower and big displacements on their engines, whether like engine size and the planetary rear end on those tractor's that make the Minneapolis Moline the most powerful tractor than any other tractor that was ever been built for the field that's why I like Minneapolis Moline tractor's there built for power and muscle 💪
I'll be darn, I didn't know there were G1355s running on propane. That sure is a fine looking machine, beautifully restored! If the G1355 was the first MM to have factory air conditioning, I guess it was the last too, eh? Along with the G955 built at the same time, the end of yellow tractors. If he is saying this tractor was built in 1974 (or 73?), then I'd like to ask when they made them with the word WHITE on the upper grille (such as at 4:36) instead of the letters MM like this one has. I once thought the earlier builds said MM and the laters said WHITE on the front. But, from what I have heard and gathered more recently, I don't think White Farm Equip was that well organized in the 1970s. I think they just built a few this way, few that way, back to this way again, whatever parts they had on hand that month. Anybody know better?
@@jimhaugen6971 According to TractorData, both available engines in the G1355, the 504 LP and more common 585 diesel, already had factory rated speed at 2200 rpm. Do you dispute that?
European tractors, in those years, were much more primitive. The agricultural tractor performs hard work in the field, yet no one thought about the comfort of the tractor driver. Any truck or passenger car from those years is much more comfortable, despite the fact that it only transports people or goods on paved roads. Case, JD, NH, etc. tractors from the 60s, 70s, 80s are the best machines that have been constructed by man. Sorry for the grammar and best regards from Poland.
The misconception with running LP or by extension Natural Gas, while yes everything does stay cleaner, you do need to continue normal maintenance intervals unless you have your fluids analyzed. Oil still breaks down, but you don't get the carbon build up like you would with gas or diesel.
@@tom1568 They definitely don't make them like they use to! I would like to get an older one that runs, with most of it's parts and restore it! The work alone would be fun!
The new ones are tin and computer. Old ttactors are like classic musle cars. They have lines or a persona if you will. Take a 6030. It breathed power and muscle and i put a lot of hours in in the field with one. Or a 4430. One of the most comfortable tractors i ever tilled with. You were operating the tractor and damn proud to be doing it. Not the tractor operating on its own with you just along for the ride.
@@tom1568 Yep! My dad grew up on a farm in Arkansas using two Belgian draft horses that belonged to an uncle. The uncle had an Oliver tractor, but dad didn't have one to use until he was in high school. His dad bought a Farmall Cub! But, everywhere we went on vacation he would point out old tractors and equipment to me so I would know about them. Oliver's, Whites, Deeres, IH, M&M, Massey Harris and Ferguson, plus Hesston equipment. The first tractor I got to use was a friend's 8N. May sound silly, but I loved using that thing. Hard to steer, almost could do wheelies pulling a plow or disc set. Whoopee! Yeehaw!
Nope my Friend you cannot beat old iron..and now they trying to say electric vehicles and tractors are the future.. Never. I will take my old gas and diesel equipment anyday. At least i know there reliable.

Videos about Minneapolis Moline are always my favorite!
Beautifully restored tractor
Beautiful tractor, that later yellow - white colour scheme was very striking.
What a pleasant surprise to see this. RIP Dick Lowry.
M&M, Farmall and Oliver tractors were great! My dad had Farmall, but his uncle had Oliver.
One of my favorite tractors
Another great video! Nick Lowry is a treasure!
Very nice work on these tractors, he makes them look better than new.
Thank you for Video
Great video.....Thank you Sir.
Case used LP a lot too! I had a cousin with 2 of the case, but they were very commercial tractors. No frills, cabs or anything, just work horses.
One of my favorite cabs! Along with a Wheatlands style Meade. Made in Kansas. One day I'll find me one and a G1000 Wheatland LP to go along side it!

Beautiful old girl
Wow. A beautiful tractor. 😀
" A clean burning fuel". Hank Hill would be proud. A very nice tractor
Allis 200 came out in '72 with factory cab and a/c
AC was an option on the 190 with the factory cab,also.
Allis Chalmers 👍

The G1355 LP tractor used the 504 cu in engine but we stepped the rpm up from 1800 to 2200 to get the power up.

The first air conditioned and heating cab was the Minneapolis Moline UDLX made in 1939.
I love my molines, affordable tractors!
It’s to bad things had to go the way it did was ahead of its time
Good looking tractor, the Oliver version was a 2255 3208 cat
No. That was an all Oliver tractor. This was the 2270 Oliver
That's what I said the Oliver version... the White 2270 ended up as the 2-180...
3208, the Bic lighter, of Cat engine.
Good morning
Wasn't there a Red version of this sold in Canada as a Cockshutt?
504 cu inch MM engine was in the G1000. I think the G1355 had a 585 cu inch engine. The power train was Oliver.
Diesel was 585. I didn’t know the propane was 504. Diesel had 135 hp.
I'm partial to allis chalmers myself, but anything ancestor to agco allis really is very close second
How can this possibly have a single dislike? 🤐

Should have built the cab around the tank. I'll bet it got pretty cold while running.
You have a mistake in your description, calling it an oliver g 1355
👍👍💯💯🇺🇸🇺🇸
Cat and Deere have smaller cabs which cool much better on real hot days.
Thank you so much.
Sad to realize it is just a short time more and you will be making a video about this collection being auctioned off.
Now, so many brands are part of AGCO. They're really different now, very foreign made.
New tractors suck!!!!!!
