Old minneapolis moline RTI

[Blumoon]

Hi all new member here. I have a old mm RTI i beleive, it has a EE engine and no serial number plate left on the right side. It has a loader on it made by LULL Loader comp. of minneap. Would like some info on a book on the engine and the whole tractor if possible. Don't have a computer at home, so have to check it at the library about 30 miles away, so dont get on here much. Any Info would be nice, Thanks

Here's TractorData's page

You can get manuals here

BTW: I'm restoring a 1951 Minneapolis Moline BF tractor (roughly the size of your RTI). The BF is actually the B.F. Avery Model R. MM bought Avery in 1951 and since MM already had a model R in their product line, the Avery R was renamed the BF.

Thanks for the help, but the old girl has no serial number plate. Any way of finding out the year by the engine serial number. It is EE 01707231. Thanks and good luck with your rebuild.:thumbsup:

If this data is accurate, your RTI is a 1953 model.

I almost forgot, I just picked up a old LeRoi tractor. Has a AC motor and a LeRoi 2 cylinder compressor between the motor and tranny, has a loader and dual rear wheels, let see what happens with that one.
