No, he wouldn't have. I believe he started there sometime in the early 1950's. He tried to make it in northern MN, as that is where my grandmother wanted to live. They found that they couldn't make a decent living, though, so were forced to move to the cities where he worked for MM until he retired. He was also an avid musician and traveled all over on weekends playing gigs (mostly polka).
My father was in a couple blues bands in the midwest in the 1970's/1980's. They were actually fairly well to do - First playing with Crazy Legs, and then moving to the Kingsnakes. Played in Minneapolis a lot. Found this little snippet in the piles of photos as well. Pretty neat little photo! Bet you can't guess which one is my dad! Since 11.20 is the anniversary of his passing, I figured I would add it into this post. He would have been 60 next June. Passed on 11.20.14. His dad (pictured above fixing the lawnmower) passed on 11.25.93 - Thanksgiving day.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
