Tractor Salvage Yard Tour | Welters Farm Supply Minneapolis Moline

[@FarmAlarm]

Instead of Where's Waldo, let's play: Can you find your favorite Tractor? Mine was the *R* with the *wide front,* and the *G1000* with *Dual Exhaust*

[@tammysarrazin7078]

i dont have a fave i love the sound of all tractors lol hugssssssssss

[@chrishankins905]

UDLX. Been my favorite forever I’d always heard rumors it was there now it’s no longer a wonder lol. Thank you

[@m988022]

160 white

[@chevyon37s]

Also seeing this is in Missouri... I wonder how many of those tractors actually show up on their personal property taxes....

[@FarmAlarm]

Well since this is a business, and all of the tractors are owned by the business, I'd say none of them are on their Personal Property Taxes... 😀

[@bardee1]

My dad would be very happy to how many Molines are still running. He was with Moline from 1947 to 1975. He was lead engineer for Moline. I helped him get the G100 ready for final approval for production. His name is Charlie Barth he passed away in latte 1975. ENjoyed your film. Charles Barth Jr.

[@FarmAlarm]

That's really cool. Thank you for sharing your story Charles. I'm sure those were fun memories that you made with your father

[@gmanchurch]

I remember that the Arkansas Highway Department had Minneapolis-Moline tractors years ago. I used to watch them work when I was a kid and I loved the sound of those old tractors! The had a special sound all of their own!

[@MrFyn409]

Thanks for the tour, Welters is a great place to work with for old MM parts!

[@marksommers8401]

Growing up we had Molines I really liked the g900 good powerful tractor

[@chevyon37s]

That 160 White with tinted windows looks awesome!

[@tedbulit03]

I grew up on a G750 diesel, LOVE that old girl! Ended up doing a rebuild on it and a Jet Star Two, thank goodness for Welters!

[@rustybuttrusty9960]

Welters does a great job to help make the old new again. Wouldn't it be great if all their old were new again? thanks for a great show, and thanks welters

[@jkrull6826]

Lots of neat stuff. Been 15 yrs since ive been. the big selection of whites is new. The 1350 on g 1000 chassis looks like one of the 6 made in 69. I have got several parts from them for our 900 and 1350. Thanks for sharing.

[@66Oliver]

I didn’t think anyone would make a video on his place! Great guy. I bought my junker 1950 off of him a year or two ago.

[@ngrantgrant2183]

I was surprised not to see a 1350 Cockshutt like mine there.

[@colinwallace5286]

Spent a fair amount of time on a Cockshutt 1900 with the GM Canada two stroke diesel in it. I figured out that “double H” transmission before my dad did, since the sticker wasn’t all that obvious to a tall person, and my dad wasn’t a tractor guy anyway. Loved that sound. My in-laws had a WHITE 8900 combine with the big Perkins in it. That filled a lot of bins. Great video.

[@FarmAlarm]

Thanks Colin. I bet that two stroke sounded cool while working under a load.

[@colinwallace5286]

@@FarmAlarm It sure did. I wondered at first why it sounded exactly like the county road grader instead of its 1850 stablemate. The variety of engines in those must have made life interesting for dealers.

[@donblunkall5607]

Unbelievable, I remember some of these while growing up but I never seen the pickup style tractors. Awesome collection 👌

[@ericteipen]

We had a LP1350 wide front end with 24.5 duals. Hottest tractor to drive we ever owned. Lit many a cigarette off the muffler. At night it would be glowing red lol

[@stevezwemer1262]

Would love to wander thru that collection ! Love them all !

[@millardhayes1884]

I saw a G1350 tricycle front end and that Oliver 1755 with the moline grill was odd. Always wanted to see that place thank you for the video

[@chrissterling3225]

What a great place to explore through..molines are few and far between around here..i loved seeing the moline with the cab..rare tractor worth quite a bit..i'd love to own it

[@crslyrn]

They've got an unbelievable collection of MM & White tractors from the looks of your video. The restored, restoration project, & parts tractors there not to mention all of those parts. Stay safe.

[@defuse56]

12:30 A Minne Mo UDLX? ! Super rare and worth thousands to a serious collector! In barn fresh condition with most of its paint still there. ARGGH! $$$$$

[@reubenwenell4255]

My favorite was that Minneapolis combine or I think it was a GLUX with the “fancy” cab. Last time I saw either working in the field was at the Albert City Threhsermans show in Iowa. I think they’re hosting the Midwest Minneapolis collectors club again in 2022 which I’m really excited for.

[@willys4882]

I remember seeing the "Spirit of Minneapolis Moline" pulling at tractor pulls as a kid!

[@scottjaecques7409]

That work horse in shed with all the Minnie's had out board planetarys

[@loganbrinker4155]

That 160 white looks in perfect condition

[@mr.fahrenheit6976]

Minneapolis Moline really liked there LP

[@jblazer147]

That's just plain amazing. Its a shame you couldn't build a roof over the whole property to preserve everything.

[@ericlakota6512]

Wowoow what a place great i wouldnt believe it if not for my own 2 eyes

[@craigrasnic4178]

Boy that buzz saw really looks OSHA approved doesn’t it

[@rockeerockey6941]

Who has this many fine tractors? Great find, shame they're not working a farm somewhere

[@dirtthunder1638]

I was 38 years a go when my dad and I bought 2 G950 heads from Welters.

[@arvbergstedt3303]

G-1000 110hp had a weak pinion bearing. Go out and wreck ring gear and pinion. Also old style Nova injection system. Injectors sprayed across to an energy cell. Too much cast around these parts to get proper cooling- cracked heads. This problem tractor wrecked MM. But White was going broke anyway. Last desperate attempt was painting Olivers yellow with Moline grills. The G-900 98hp did much better. Same differential. Grew up in a dealership with Ferguson MM Versatile and many short lines. Seen all the mergers to MF and White. Drove many of the varied models new and many old Z. U. G. 5 star. Jet star. M5. M670. G-705. G-IV called G-6. 900. 1000. 1355. All the Fergusons. Massey Harris. Massey Ferguson. Some Olivers 1555 1655 1755. 2255 with Cat V8. We sold a lot of Augers. swathers. Tillage equipment. Wagons. Combines. Bailers. when other dealers couldn’t get stuff. Fun times.

[@spencersand2754]

Look at all those treasures

[@73buickman]

My dad had an m602 l.p. tractors with factory cab when I was in my teens

[@morgansword]

I just shared this with some other tractor people, who knows, might get a like of two more. I subscribed for it so have no excuse except to say thank you for sharing this video and hope it won't be last one

[@FarmAlarm]

Thanks Morgan

[@jamescalhoun2003]

Love that old dodge power wagon 17:52

[@mikeskidmore6754]

I bought some wheel weights from these guys.. They brought them to a Tractor show in Indiana .. rather heavy for shipping..

[@robertsharp5866]

I had a 1206 in 97 and it was a good one

[@calebmattix391]

Beautiful

[@Murphyslawfarm]

G'day great video i love seeing old iron

[@wendyc.5769]

How many tractors do you think were there? That’s incredible. I like the ones without a computer personally. But I don’t own a tractor 🚜. Yet🤔

[@ericlakota6512]

That Moline is like new i like how some farmers treat tractor like a investment we do we work hard but try to keep are stuff nice it dose take alot more work but we like to fix up used and keep the new ones nice when i go to auctions i see some big tractors like that wite in such condition like some never washed it all some farmers care if it starts and smash the tin all up and never fix the right way take every gard and shield off and never put it back its almost sad imagining when the tractor was new

[@deweygill1973]

Wow. A UDLX cab. Why isn't that being restored? What a cool tour.

[@FarmAlarm]

I see what you're saying, BUT I also think there is something to a nice *Survivor.* They are only original once 👍😀

[@deweygill1973]

I should have been more specific, meaning it just getting the attention it needs to be a running and operating machine.

[@jimoakley3436]

If them old girls could talk.

[@tomchrisfield7348]

A lot of neat and rare stuff. Although totally disorganized, I'm sure someone knows where everything is.

[@craneman76allen51]

hey tracy great video pard. i liked the g1000 with twice pipes coming out of the hood as well whats going on with the ol’ truck looking forward to some more vids on it.

[@FarmAlarm]

Lol twice pipes.

[@craigrasnic4178]

Man I’m gonna have to look that place up I’m looking for all of the clutch linkage and pieces for a MM G

[@chrismaas7192]

Moline heaven

[@hpelisr]

Wow , what history, that is a cool shop. I don't know much about the Moline tractor company. Is the White tractor part of Moline?

[@SchnelleKat]

The parts & collection is INSANE.... I got to visit. Omg. Wonder if they'll sell any whole?

[@jamessmith7691]

Wish your shirts had pockets. Nice video.

[@brentgraber591]

Prairie Gold mine! I'd have a heart attack if I could walk through there.

[@robertduncan2742]

I went through part of a john deere garden tractors with about every kind their. I could have spent all day there but had to head back home a few hours. Picked up what I needed and maybe go back again. Lots if storys on these

[@Murphyslawfarm]

I liked them all 👍

[@ohioplowboyhawk6738]

Wow that was awesome I could spend a lot of time and money at that place 👍👍

[@rswany16]

A4T-1600 is my dream tractor. Would the White Plainsman A4T-1600 that was at 15:30 in the video, be for sale?

[@FarmAlarm]

I would say most everything at this business is for sale... call Welters in Verona MO.

[@rswany16]

@@FarmAlarm awesome thank you! It would be so awesome just to even walk around there in person. Looks like they have a lot of unique minnies and whites!

[@FarmAlarm]

@@rswany16 you're welcome. If you are within a half days drive, its worth it. I enjoyed the time there spent.

[@derrickzenner9300]

Awesome

[@wayofthewordwow7574]

Seems they sorta like Minneapolis Moline and White tractors, would have been nice to heard some stories on some of them especially the one of a kind.

[@Derek_00Mustang83]

I'm simple. The 160 white with the tinted windows gets my vote.

[@FarmAlarm]

You gotta love tinted windows!!!

[@SKC640]

Wow what a beautiful place! MM are my second favorite tractor brand right behind Massey Harris but MM has my favorite tractor model of all time! Does anyone remember what the model nnsmr is for the MM. That looks like a car with it's front end and the coupe styled cab? I have read tons about that machine but for the life of me i can't remember what it's called. TIA!

[@FarmAlarm]

That was a UDLX. did you see the one in the video? It was a cool machine

[@SKC640]

@@FarmAlarm yes sir that what reminded me of it! I use to have Tons of diecast ones growing up. Thanks for reminding me!

[@FarmAlarm]

Oh I bet you wish you still had those diecast today. Those old ones are probably worth something 👍

[@foxacresfarm7595]

If I had the money I would have a field day at that place.

[@georgecass8529]

Would to see more of that old Dodge pickup

[@TimMartin-bh9js]

Why was there only one made of the 140 spirit

[@FarmAlarm]

Because it was just for fun.

[@owensmith5104]

Would you have a tachometer for a Mt180hd Mitsubishi or a Case IH 235 Thanks

[@mikeskidmore6754]

I still have their Calendar ..

[@travishanson166]

I guess I know where I'm going if ever I buy parts for my white 2-150 with the moline 9L diesel, or where I may send it to die.

[@markrose9644]

I could spend the day there

[@andrewread8370]

Make that a week

[@elizabethcherry920]

It is so depressing to see these pieces of American farming history just wasting away, imagine the stories each of these tractors could tell, what a shame. I can just picture a farmer buying one of those tractors when new and how proud that farmer felt buying it, then also knowing the farmer that bought these tractors new is more then likely has died. This was a great video

[@farmnewsman]

Probably selfish haha but I hate seeing word get out about this place. Do a lot of business with glen great folks always willing to help I have him on speed dial. Spent several days in his shop learning how to fix things.

[@FarmAlarm]

Lol it's like when you tell your buddy where your Secret Morrell Mushroom hunting spot is, then you instantly regret it lol!

[@m988022]

Will they sell any of those for a project

[@FarmAlarm]

I assume most things there are for sale.

[@travisveenhuis7521]

Yellow is nice....but that 160.....oh my that takes it.

[@bellelibby1]

I'd go broke there anything gold and LP would be on my wish list

[@soldtobediers]

How much for that little Truckie in the window of 0:18? How much for that one with the 2 trees in it's teeth? 1:16 Righteously phrased question. For me He was chastised, for me He was hated For me He was rejected by a world that He created -Bob Dylan song ''Solid Rock'' 12:35 Nice reversed 5 window cab. Reckon that'nd steal the prize on looks alone @ the tractor pull. 15:40 Say it ain't so! That welder best have a good reason for that one. Obliged for the non musical tour of that Hallowed Moline Ground. I'm walking away with one strong though about it all... What a Farmer's Fine Time Post Resurrection's Eternity's gonna be had between those who've built & used these many levels of tractors; while they show & explain 'em to those earlier Farmers who'd never known they'd missed. ''Is it not the Farmer Who's properly fulfilled that commanded scripture... Go and Subdue the Earth.'' -Day Six; Gen. 1:26-29 ...tTt...

[@TheGhostOfLuciasClay]

I love dealers like this. I hate going places where their wearing khakis and polo shirts.

[@thomaspickar9709]

Can I buy a whole tractor at that place

[@FarmAlarm]

You sure can

[@CheeseMiser]

The real one has chrome wheels on the right side and normal on the left

I bet the UDLX runs

[@pwarren1010]

12:46 from an airport? 🤔🌈👍👍👍

[@FarmAlarm]

Nope, that's actually the first Cab Tractor ever made. Not too many made, because nobody wanted to purchase them. Farmers didn't think they needed a cab. Ultra Rare. I'm just guessing, but I bet That One is worth $75,000 in that condition.

[@pwarren1010]

@@FarmAlarm hmm thx. Looks like what they might use at an airport to tow luggage.

[@michellenelson9073]

You should get that yellow tractor that looks like a truck.

[@FarmAlarm]

That's a $100,000 Tractor!

[@PaulHigginbothamSr]

This just shows where a young smart mech should turn up with just enough cash to say buy that car looking tractor and pound the dents out of the front fenders and sweetly paint it to double his investment and then buy five or ten more of this yards tractors for the least amount possible to get them working on small farms and wood lots where they would be massive useful. Not sure about those big propane tractors as if the engines are not frozen are probably still good but converted to gasoline to be more useful. Not sure. Those large articulated propane trackers would break the bank with no difficulty.

[@samrumade9429]

No. Propane is far superior to gasoline.

[@CoalChrome]

i want it

[@nicksmith-rz2dl]

It's a shame that those tractors sitting there could be working in a field and that probably would last longer then most new stuff I've watched a local farmer that bought 2 new tractors and they've been down more then being used he ended up finding 2 4440 tractors and took the 2 new deers back.not saying al jd are like this.

Ima buy everything who wants to split costs with me?
