MN Announces It's Finest
In The Constellation
Line Of Tractors

Minneapolis-M -Moline's latest addi-
tion to it's tractor line is the MN
5-Star, a fOur-plow tractor, and
offers many features to put it's so
drawbar horsepower to efficient
use.
The new 5-Star Universal tractor
is being furnished in models to
burn gasoline, liquid petroleum
gas tractor fuel. and diesel fuel.
5-Star engines are heavy indus
trial engines of a four cylinder.
valve in head design, and have
neapOlis-MOlines exclusive re-
movable cylinder block feature.
This feature almost doubles en-
gine life as compared to competi
tive engines using wet or dry CYL
inder sleeve design and also as
compared to competitive tractors
using light, high speed, automotive
type engines. The new MN 5-Star
engine develops it's maximum tor
que or Juggling power around HOO
RPM. It's normal governed speed
full lOad) is 1400 RPM. This shows
that the 5-Star actually Jugs more
when hard pulls or shock loads
tend to reduce engine speed.
There is no mystery to the out
standing Juggling power of the new
5-Star This quality is made poss-
ible through the use of a heavy
duty, low speed industrial engine
and a new Cam and Ball" gov
ernor.
The complete new hydraulic sys-
tenn sends draft control impulses
via a fluid line eliminating me-
chanical linkage), resulting in fas-
ter and more accurate implement
control. Other outstanding features
of the new hydraulics are provi-
siOns for the operator to select the
proper rate of drop for either heavy
or light tools and control vari-
ations in implement depth due to-
soil conditions. The system can al
so be locked to prevent accidental
dropping of the tools while trans
porting them. 80 per cent of the
effort of steering the 5-Star is elimi-
mated with the finest of hydraulic
power steering.
Among standard equipment is
MINIS Ampli-Torc drive which gives
the operator 10 speeds forward and
9 in reverse. Ampli-TOrc makes it
possible to start heavy loads in a
low speed range and after the
load is rolling, move into high speed
range with the flick of lever with
out throttling, clutching, stopping
and shifting When pulling power
take-off machines, AmpliTorc en-
ables the operator to feed the ma
chine evenly and to get the maxi
mum amount of material harvested.
Ampli-TOrc has many other fea-
lures and is an exclusive Mime
apolis-Moline feature.
The 5-Star made it's premier
showing at the New York State Fair
where it was awarded seven blue
ribbons, on accomplishment never
before equaled, and it was acclaim
ed by engineers of competitive
tractors to be no less than eight
years ahead of anything in their
field.
This new 5-Star addition to
MINIS line of tractors and they're
winning of many contests (such as
their consecutive winning year af-
ter year of the national corn pick
ing contest) proves the undisputed
leadership of the Minneapolis-Mo-
line line of farm machinery.
The Minneapolis-Mo line of
farm machinery plus a complete in
ventory of parts and factory train
ed service personnel is offered to
the farmers in this area by John
II. Annett and Sons located at
Staytonsville, on the Milford-Green-
wood road and James H. Baxter,
Jr., located at Georgetown on the
Old Millsboro road.
