Twin City MT
The Twin City MT is a sturdy tractor built for farm work. It has a manual steering system and a gear transmission with 3 forward gears and 1 reverse gear. This setup gives farmers good control over the tractor's movement. The MT is powered by a Minneapolis engine that runs on kerosene fuel. This engine has 4 cylinders and is liquid-cooled, which helps it run smoothly. It has a displacement of 283.7 cubic inches, which is quite large for a tractor of its time. The engine runs at 1000 RPM, providing steady power for various tasks. One unique feature is its hand-crank starter, which was common for tractors of this era. The tractor has steel wheels instead of rubber tires, both in front and back. This makes it tough and long-lasting on rough farm terrain. The Twin City MT is a big machine, measuring 143 inches long, 93 inches wide, and 64.5 inches tall. It weighs 4860 pounds, making it a heavy-duty tractor. The large size and weight help it handle tough farming jobs. It has a coolant capacity of 24 quarts, which helps keep the engine running at the right temperature during long work days.
