Minneapolis Threshing Machine Company 25-50

The Minneapolis 25-50 is a classic standard-tread tractor that exemplifies the durability and simplicity of early 20th-century agricultural machinery. It was manufactured by the Minneapolis Threshing Machine Company, well-known at the time for its robust and reliable equipment. This model is equipped with a 4-cylinder, kerosene-fueled, liquid-cooled engine with a large 904.8 cubic-inch displacement, which is quite substantial for tractors of its era, designed to provide steady power for plowing and other heavy-duty tasks. The 25-50 operates on a simple 2-speed gear transmission, with manual steering and a 2WD chassis. It was started with a hand crank, reminding us of the physical work it required to operate farm machinery at that time. With large steel rear wheels, it was built to withstand the demanding conditions of farming and land work.
