Minneapolis-Moline G-705 – G-708

The large Minneapolis-Moline tractors remained quite old-fashioned in the 1962 revision. The engine was either diesel or LPG, having grown to 8.3 liters with a power output of just over 110 horsepower. There were 5+1 gears, and no quick-shift options were available. The clutch was still operated by a hand lever. Power take-off and hydraulics were available as optional extras, but a three-point hitch was not. Power steering was now standard. A basic cabin was also available, with access from the rear. The G-706 was a four-wheel-drive model equipped with a Coleman front axle.

The G-705 was also sold under the name Massey Ferguson 97.

For the last year, the model designations were changed to G-707 and G-708. There were no differences in the technical specifications compared to the previous models, except for the availability of a short wheelbase option on the two-wheel-drive model, but the design resembled the upcoming G-1000 model. For example, the rear fenders were straight and had dual headlights. The grille was easy to remove.
