Story on this Moline?

The I would possibly mean industrial?

Alot different from my GTB!!! Got a couple extra spark plugs

If that's the one I'm thinking of it's a MTA with a power unit engine swapped in, aught to be one heck of a puller!

No its not an MTA nor KTA . These tractors were developed into the U series which were smaller than this tractor appears to be. The MTA was a row crop with a tricycle front end the KTA was a wide front both with drop boxes for rowcropping. The six cylinder engine is what has me baffled. While i was raised on Molines theres a lot i don't know.

What was the big Wheatland tractor they made back then? They had the FTA, KTA, AND MTA. One had drop housings. My buddy has one that bears some resemblance to a GTA but it's not. Somewhere I was at a show and saw one of them repowered with an irrigation power unit. Have to dig through the pictures.

I haven't been ignoring You on purpose; simply have had my hands full and had to take care of a lot of things that couldn't wait. The sources i have on info there show the FTA or 21-32 model evolved into the Model GT of the Red Grille era of 1938 - 1941. I have had to do a little research there as the only pre Prarie Gold tractors i saw running in this area was the MTA. There were several GTB GTC and a lot of GB's but none of the big Pre G series big wheatlands of the TC M&M flavor. I apologize for the late responce.

I'm thinking GTI instead of 6TI. Looks like a "one of" possibly made up, the serial tag looks new which would mean it's not origional. I know where there is a similar tractor with an 800, FWA, PTO, belt pulley, the whole 9 yards which is made of lots of parts from lots of tractors, it also looks like a factory origional with all the details.

There is some companies that redo the serial tags. I even saw some advertised in the Green Magazine. They take your old one and make it look like new. So it would look good with your fresh restored tractor.

im by no means an MM expert. my guess is a FTA rearend with a 605 power unit. very nicely done. i think some of MMs downfall was they made to many parts interchangeable. farmers could buy parts and build there own bigger tractors.
