Welcome!

It is my pleasure on behalf of Antique Engine & Tractor Association (AETA ), to welcome you to our 60th Annual Working Farm Show.
The vision of a few, so many years ago, has become a reality for many at this permanent show site. AETA is an organization formed in 1961 by a small group of farmers and other interested individuals who wanted to keep the face of agriculture in front of the public by sponsoring a one day show for the local citizens of Henry and other surrounding counties.
The mission “To promote the collection, restoration, preservation, and exhibition of gasoline and oil en- gines, gasoline and steam tractors, power driven farm machinery and other equipment of historical value” is the bond that keeps AETA strong.
Now, 60 years later, the dreams of those before us has grown to over 300 members. This three day event draws people of all ages, gender, income brackets, and nationalities. The past attendees were not only from nearby communities but traveled from multiple states and countries. This multi-generational show pro- motes historical agricultural preservation by the stories that are passed from one to another as they remi- nisce about their days on the farm operating the machinery and remembering the back breaking work of earlier years. The demonstrations, exhibits and other activities bring those memories back to life.
Many hours of volunteer labor, both mental and physical, are donated to present this show each year and although this is a not-for-profit organization, monetary support from many sponsors is needed annually. A huge THANK YOU goes out to our sponsors and everyone who had a part, small or large, in bringing this 2021 show to fruition and presenting it to many families that will visit us over the next three days.
This show is not only entertaining, but educational, and there is something here for every member of the family, both young and old, to enjoy and learn. Please take in the whole show from the fields, to the barn, to the mercantile, to the sawmill, to the blacksmith shop, to the craft building, and everything in between.
And by all means, take a ride on the train and visit the horse barn.
The continued success of the AETA Working Farm Show is dependent on input from many individuals and we welcome you to speak with one of our directors or come to the show office to offer suggestions for future shows.
Thank you for attending our show and have a great time!
Chad Jacobs, President AETA.

2021 Feature Tractor
MINNEAPOLIS-MOLINE
By Larry Gay (deceased)
Printed with permission from the family.
The Minneapolis-Moline Power Implement Company was formed in April 1929 by merging the Moline Implement Company (formerly the Moline Plow Company), the Minneapolis Threshing Machine Company and the Minneapolis Steel and Machinery Company. The Minneapolis Steel and Machinery Company was building Twin City tractors at its Lake Street factory in Minneapolis. The Minneapolis Threshing Machine Company was manufacturing Minneapolis tractors and harvesting equipment at its factory in Hopkins, Minnesota. The Minneapolis tractors were dropped and the harvesting equipment retained. The Moline Implement Company was building implements at its factory in Moline, Illinois.
After the merger, the three former Twin City standard-tread tractors were labeled MM Twin City. The KT, MT, and JT row-crop tractors were added in the early 1930s. The first tractor with only the Minneapolis- Moline name and the Prairie Gold color was 2-3 plow Z in 1937, followed by the 3-4 plow U in 1938, the 2-plow R in 1939, and the 4-5 plow, standard-tread GT in 1939. A unique version of the U was the UDLX Comfortractor with a steel cab equipped with a radio, heater, and wide seat. MM was first to offer LP-gas engines in 1941. In 1949, the company name was shortened to Minneapolis-Moline Company.
Minneapolis-Moline purchased the B. F. Avery Company in 1951 and the BF and BG models replaced the R. Also in 1951, MM introduced the Uni-Tractor, a self-propelled chassis for harvesting equipment.
The 335 and 445 with an arched hood were introduced in 1956 and in 1962 MM became the first company to offer factory-installed front-wheel assist. MM began to experience profitability problems in the mid-1950s. The Avery factory was closed in 1955 and the Moline plant in 1956. In January 1963, Minneapolis-Moline was purchased by White Motor Company. The MM tractor line for 1964 consisted of the Jet Star 3, U302, M602, M604, G705, and G706 models.
The G1000 tractor with 110 PTO horsepower was new for the 1966 model year. For 1967, the G900 was added and the G1000 row-crop tractor became the G1000 Vista with an isolated operator’s platform.
New for 1970 were the G950, G1050, G1350, with 97, 110, and 135 PTO horsepower, respectively, and the A4T series of articulated four-wheel-drive tractors.
10
White Motor Corporation created the White Farm Equipment Company in September 1969 by combining its Oliver and Minneapolis-Moline subsidiaries. The MM Lake Street and Hopkins factories were closed in mid-1972 and MM tractor production was moved to the Oliver tractor factory in Charles City, Iowa. The last new Minneapolis-Moline tractors were the G1355 and G955 for 1973 and 1974, respectively. These were basically Oliver tractors with MM diesel or LP-gas engines, front frames, and hoods. By 1976, the White line of tractors had replaced both the Minneapolis-Moline and Oliver brands.
