Minneapolis-Moline JTS

The Minneapolis-Moline JTS is a standard-tread tractor with foundational features appropriate for its production era. The JTS operates on a 4x2 2WD chassis and is steered manually. Its propulsion is facilitated by a 5-speed gear transmission, consisting of 5 forward gears and 1 reverse gear. At its heart lies a Waukesha 4-cylinder, 8-valve gasoline engine, boasting a displacement of 196.1 cubic inches, with bore and stroke measures of 3.625 inches and 4.75 inches respectively. Liquid-cooling systems ensure the engine operates efficiently at a rated RPM of 1275. The JTS rolls on steel front and rear tires, sized 25x4.50 and 50x8 accordingly. A sizable coolant capacity of 20 quarts indicates it was designed to handle working conditions without frequent needs for coolant re-fill. The tractor's dimensions sprawl over a length of 124.5 inches, a width of 57.25 inches, and a height of 56 inches, with an operating weight of 3450 pounds—sturdy and stable for various agricultural tasks of its time.
