I did not actually own my nominee, but unfortunately my Granddad and uncle did. My nominee is a Minneapolis Moline G705 Diesel. What a piece of junk; I want to puke whenever I see anything that even resembles one at antique shows. Ungainly handlingly, poor gear ratios, and a useless 3 point hitch were just some of its many issues. My granddad and uncle traded for this unit back during the 70's to be their big tractor for tillage and at 90 plus claimed hp it should have been a workhorse. Unfortunately, their JD 730 diesel or my dad's Oliver 1800 Gasser would outwork it by a considerable margin even though they were less hp. A major overhaul on the G705 still did not correct this.
To make matters worse a very good JD G, a worn out MM UB diesel, and boot cash were all traded for the useless MM G705. They would have been much better off to have overhauled the MM UB that they already owned as it might have been at least somewhat useful after an overhaul. At the very least they still would have owned the JD G and had the boot cash in their pocket.
