Introduction
Minneapolis-Moline G1355 Agricultural Tractor
The Minneapolis-Moline G1355 is a heavy-duty agricultural tractor produced between 1972 and 1974 in Charles City, Iowa, USA. This model was marketed under several brand names within the White Motor Corporation group, including Oliver, Cockshutt, and White, and was engineered to serve as a high-capacity prime mover for large-scale farming operations.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 504 cubic-inch (8.3 L) six-cylinder liquid-cooled engine. It operates at a rated speed of 2200 RPM and features a dry-type air cleaner. The engine is designed to run on LP-gas, with a compression ratio of 8.8:1, providing a power output of 163 horsepower to handle demanding traction tasks.
Transmission and Drivetrain
Two transmission configurations were available: a standard gear-type transmission providing 6 forward and 2 reverse speeds, and the optional Hydraul-Shift three-range power shift transmission offering 18 forward and 6 reverse speeds. The drivetrain utilizes planetary final drives and is equipped with a 355.6 mm dry disc clutch for efficient power delivery.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The G1355 features a closed-center hydraulic system with a pump flow capacity of 20 gpm (75.7 lpm). The rear hitch is a Category III/II three-point linkage capable of lifting 6,000 lbs (2,721 kg), allowing for the operation of heavy implements. The independent rear PTO supports both 540 and 1000 RPM speeds.
Dimensions and Operator Station
The tractor has a wheelbase of 111 inches (281 cm) and an operating weight of 17,100 lbs (7,756 kg). It is configured as a two-wheel-drive machine with power steering and dry disc brakes. The standard configuration includes an open operator station, with an optional cab featuring air conditioning available for improved operator comfort.
Conclusion
With its robust engine and versatile transmission options, the Minneapolis-Moline G1355 is suited for heavy field work including tillage and large-scale hauling. Its shared design elements with other White-owned brands of the era provide a standard for parts compatibility and serviceability in the vintage tractor market.
