Those odd old Minnesota tractors...

While looking through a early farm magazine, I was impressed with all the ads for tractors made in Minnesota that I didn't realize existed.
For example: the "Little Oak Tractor", manufactured in Willmar, Minnesota. Ever see, or hear of one? Some other ads were for the "Simplex", "HappyFarmer", "Bull", "Common Sense", "Pullet", "Dakota King", "Shorturn", "Kinkhead", produced in Minnesota. How many other oddball tractors originated from the "Land of Sky Blue Waters"?

I seem to remember a tractor company on East Hennepin, about 7th St SE, that built industrial tractors. Boxy looking things that looked like Ford, perhaps. I wonder if it wasn't called MinnPar?
