RARE ABANDONED Minneapolis Moline G707! Parked 13 years! Will It Run?!

[@ScottJohnson-fs6je]

Damn nice old Moline, grew up running them, still have a g900, m670, g1000 vista, I've had real good luck with Welters in Missouri for parts, I'm from ND but their good to deal with on shipping, thanks for posting and keeping that old iron going.

[@tmonteIH]

Good to know. Thanks for watching.

[@larryklostermann5779]

Nice video!

[@frosty8563]

I love seeing them ole girls fire that easy after sitting so long. Its like they are just waiting for the chance to run .

[@tmonteIH]

My thoughts exactly

[@JulianKeller-om6wz]

Wow! What a cool old tractor! From an era when life was much simpler. Family farms were a way of life and they could support a family and make a nice living. Families were tight and worked together. Everyone had their job to do. Neighbors were always there for each other.... Sitting way in the back of that thing makes it seem like you are driving a freaking locomotive! Lol! My dad had an R John Deere. You sat way on back of them too, but they weren't as long cuz they didn't have that great big old six cylider engine. I can't believe how easy that thing started for you. You didn't even have to bleed the injectors out. Be fun to hook a plow to the old girl n put her to work. Leave yourself plenty of room and enuf time to turn at the end the field cuz like you said. They don't turn on a dime! Lol! If you get it out in the field, please post a video. I like the green ones, but It's fun to see old tractors out in the field no matter what color they are. Like you, I've worked on all kinds of them over the years.

[@tmonteIH]

Hoping to put it to work sometime soon

[@materikoro]

Around 1960 my father bought one equal to that zero KM and no one could figure out why it released so much smoke from the exhaust when pulling the plow. This happened in Colonia Uruguay, South America.

[@rodneybalog4605]

In 1981 I worked at at IH dealership I brought one that came in with cab duals weighted down big rubber on front with fuild painted up cooler radio nice tractor for 4000 I belive pump was turned up a bit but tractor was gone right over I could pull two 19foot massey discern with packers behind walked almost 5 mile a hour no problem but up hills she would bark up the hills nice tractor they were just over 100 horse but more than that iam sure and with pump turned up iam sure a good 120 horse

Man that old 707 did clean up nicely! Great job getting the old girl going again and serviced! Love your old D150 service truck too. I have an old Dodge the same color on the farm of the D350 Cummins (1990) variety we've used as a service truck and hauler since brand new.

[@LukeLong-oi4uc]

I learned how to drive a tractor on a ford 9 N, then immediately graduated up to our moline GVI. I spent many hours running that old girl. (Still have it 45 years later) I then graduated up to a Massey 1100, and then to a 1135 at 17 years of age. Still have the 1135 also. Anyway, those old wheat lands have a special place in my heart.

[@tmonteIH]

Wheatlands are my favorite to drive.

Thanks for the sub! It’s quite a tractor. That’s for sure.

[@letsride2057]

bought a 656 utility diesel with loader, not running. Pump had been rebuilt. The person who put it back on did the job incorrectly. Tore the seal at the pump to the crank case. Dumped fuel into the oil pan. Also did not replace the filters. Filters replaced, did the best I could rinsing out the fuel tank once removed, injection pump rebuild, had water in it and rust, injectors cleaned, obsolete now, and upgraded the glow plugs with solenoid battery connections. $2400 later and it is a hard start tractor. The Roosamaster like the one you have in that Mini and the poor injector/glow plug design is not great. Remember Grandpa telling me as a 10 year old, he did not like diesels, he was a IH guy and custom thresher man. He said the International Governors were the best for belt work. He ran a F30 and NIckle Shepard and Red river threshing machines. Every time the 656 gives me grief starting I think of his words. However, my Hydro 70 and 966 diesel, no problems

[@tmonteIH]

The glow plug diesel are just notorious hard starters. Wouldn’t recommend one for daily use.

[@rodneybalog4605]

Nice tractor I wish I had mine my dadalways got rid of everything them 44 massey diesels are nice tractor and people looking for them kind of rare good on fuel and starts good as well

It would be fun to run in the field for sure.

[@curtsaville5116]

I ran 2 ihc 806 new and a mm g1000 diesel one spring. Loved the g1000 because of lower rpm

They sure are fun.

[@stevemccoy8138]

Nice tractor, pull a 20' one way ? Those fuel filters are not my favorite for sure. New seat and umbrella and your ready. 😊 If I was still farming it would be nice to have. Thanks. 😊

[@tmonteIH]

I’d bet it would pull 20’ in the right conditions.

[@retiredlife848]

It's amazing how these old tractors crank and run after sitting for so long.

[@tmonteIH]

[@MattKrogmeier]

I love those old Minnies. We had a G-VI at one point when I was a little kid…and a G-1000 later. We had gone all IH or Case by the time I got old enough to work summer fallow, but my older brother and cousins would have spent a ton of time on those MMs. Always puzzled me why Ertl never made a decent toy version. I’ve got a 1/32 MM narrow front toy tractor that I can’t find ANY info on.

[@tmonteIH]

I’ve got a couple small Minnie toys around here. Pretty uncommon.

I figured this much. I really need cadet tractors. It would be nice to have some lingering around for parts.

that's such an odd look to me to have all that tractor in front with the operator at the very back that many years into tractors being a thing. Maybe it isn't as odd in person, but on here it just looks so very old and outdated. Like a tractor that should have been made before the time of the 3-point.

[@tmonteIH]

You have to consider in its time and the area it was made for all it was going to do was pull stuff. Some of those items still had manual lever lifts too. So rearward seating was the way to go.
