Minneapolis-Moline BF/BG
Minneapolis-Moline bought Avery in 1951. At the factory, the model Avery R, introduced the previous year, was in production, which Minneapolis-Moline renamed BF because they already had their own model called R. The color was changed to yellow, but no other major changes were made. The engine was a 2.2-liter Hercules gasoline engine, and there were four gears. The BFS was equipped with a single front wheel, the BFD with two, BTW with a wide front axle, and BFH with high ground clearance.
The rarer little brother was the Avery V, which was part of the Minneapolis-Moline series in 1952. The following year it was renamed BG, and the same larger engine and four-speed transmission as in the BF were adopted. The BG was always equipped with a wide front axle and was a so-called Utility model. These models were not available with a lifting device.
