hope this helps the book is minneapolis-moline farm tractors by chester peterson jr and rod beemer serial and production numbers are in the back of the book
have you got a GVI or just looking at one? what other tractors have you got?

Yessir, that answers the question; nosir I do not own any GVI tractors; am going to be on the road at daylight; the tractors are located within 50 miles of destination, and I plan to take the time to give them a lookover.. Right now the collection consists of 1 10-30 Case 2 UTS Minnies A GB Minnie 1 70 John Deere LP Rowcrop 1948 B John Deere and a half interest in a 1935 Model A John Deere.. Hopefully very shortly I will have landed a Red Grille Row Crop U and a Red Grille Standard Minnie. Have half interest in a few W9 IHC also.. What really intrigues this little fellow is early Cat crawlers; but the large ones are totally impractical for the way I am set up. Thank You sir for the help...

Yessir; I can well remember the standar working as late as the late 50's; the owner had 3 UTS Molines; the last time I can remember the Red Grille working, all 3 of the U's were working a half section of clay ground; pulling one ways; the Red Grille was pulling a 12 foot MM one way;the other 2 Uts's were much later manufacturing; one around 1950; (the straight axle beam on lp) the other one being around a 54 model; both were pulling 14 foot Krause one ways. His son in law now has the equipment; he is one of the know everything types; that don't know his *** from a hole in the ground; so this is a catch as catch can situation; the only reason I will even concider putting up with this, is for the tractor; the other red grille is a row crop that is sadly neglected; the fellow that owns this tractor is one great fellow; He's just undecided at this point..

Bear, no luck on the Red Grilles; everything else seems to fall in place; circustances are keeping Me out of the market for awhile; but thats the story of all tractor nuts; have been cathin up with some of the posts; some of the folks have come up with some genuine goodies; sure tickled to see that young fellow and his Z.. Fellows like Him are what this is all about
