Check out the Motorbooks/MBI publications "Minneapolis-Moline Tractors 1870-1969" by C. H. Wendel and Andrew Morland or "Minneapolis-Moline Tractors" by Al Sayers for brief company histories. Or go to www.Minneapolis-Moline.com/ to review the history of the Minneapolis-Moline Power Implement Company formed by merger in 1929. The Great Minneapolis Line was the product line of The Minneapolis Threshing Machine Co. ("MTM") of Hopkins ("West Minneapolis") Minnesota. C. H. Wendel wrote that MTM went back to 1874 in Fond du Lac Wisconsin as a threshing machine manufacturer. My understanding is the company built threshers and steam traction engines before entering the gasoline tractor business about 1910 selling the Universal tractor. There is a b&w photo of a Minneapolis 17-30 Type B tractor on page 32 of the Wendel/Morland book.
