Sheet metal looks really good, just gotta get some tires on it, and fire it up.

[RYJBA]

Did Moline phase out the red grilled Z series somewhat later than the Red Grille U series?

[bear]

if i remember correct both the z and r had red grilles for their whole production run the u was done with red grille in late 40's

From the pictures I will say it is a 1940 ZTS. Has wrong gas tank. looks like a tank off ZA. Red nose U's were made from 1938-41.R's had red nose all through there production run 1939-52. Z's has red nose until ZA series in 1949.1936-49. G's only had the red nose from 38-41 for GT's. This particular Z should also have brass serial # tags.
