Unknown: Minneapolis Universal 20-40

This old photo is a family heirloom and I would like to document what Make and Model this tractor is. Can anyone positively identify it ? Thanks.

On Page 33 of "The Agricultural Tractor 1885-1950" it is identified as a 1911 Minneapolis Universal 20-40.

Thank you very much !!!

Also known later as a Rumley Gas Pull. Photo taken last year at Rollag.

Anyone have an update on the Tornado/high winds that hit their showgrounds last week???

STEVE Nice photo your an alright kind of guy. Need more like you in this hobby.

The show grounds at Rollag was very lucky. Extensive damage was done to the Threshing Machine storage shed in the Expo Area. Majority of the threshing machine survived a few were not so lucky. Damage was done to the Thresherman's Memorial Building's roof on the west side, this will be repairable. Extensive damage was done to the 20 or so bundle wagons. Luckily the tornado passed through a small section of the Expo area of the show grounds. There were people in their campers during the storm, luckily no one was hurt. Alot of the cleanup has started, and repairs have been started to the bundle wagons which will be needed in about 2 -3 weeks. Hope to see you at the show.

Thanks for the update on the Tornado. Glad to hear that that the damage wasn't as bad as it could have been. I saw 3 pictures on one of the local web sites part of the damage, but didn't know what else was damaged Glad to hear that no one was injured. I enjoyed my stop by there last year and plan on coming back in another year or two. I am thinking of another show this year to attend that weekend (maybe in MI).

AL - missed you at Will County on Sunday...Nice Grounds...I am member now ...I can keep tabs on them now. Photos will have to wait for another week due to the Fair this week. Back to work after 3 hrs sleep.
