Manufactured between 1928 and 1929, this machine embodies the reliability and robust design that defined Minneapolis tractors, offering a glimpse into the past while remaining a subject of fascination for enthusiasts and collectors alike.

Heart of the Beast: The Stearns Engine

Under the hood, the Minneapolis 39-57 boasts a formidable Stearns engine. This liquid-cooled, 4-cylinder gasoline powerhouse displaces a substantial 617.7 cubic inches (10.1 liters), delivering a robust 63 horsepower at a rated 1000 RPM.

The bore and stroke measure 5.50x6.50 inches (140 x 165 mm), highlighting the sheer mechanical might packed into this vintage tractor.

Transmission and Control: Simplicity Meets Functionality

Navigating the fields is handled by a straightforward gear transmission, offering 2 forward gears and 1 reverse gear. This setup provides the necessary versatility for various agricultural tasks of the period. The tractor features a two-wheel drive configuration and manual steering, ensuring a connected and engaging driving experience. The open operator station is a nod to the practical design principles of the time, prioritizing visibility and accessibility for the driver.

Built to Last: Dimensions and Production

Weighing an impressive 9695 lbs (4397 kg), the Minneapolis 39-57 is a substantial machine built for endurance. Its agricultural rear tires measure 58x19.5 (steel), providing the grip and stability needed for demanding work. This standard-tread tractor was proudly manufactured in Hopkins, Minnesota, USA, by Minneapolis, a key player in agricultural machinery at the time, forming part of the Minneapolis Threshing Machine Company.

Conclusion

"The Minneapolis 39-57 is more than just a tractor; it's a piece of agricultural history.
