VerifiedThe Minneapolis-Moline 335 (1956–1961) was a compact utility/row-crop tractor, also offered in industrial form.
Identification & configuration
TractorData lists the 335 in Utility, Universal, and Industrial configurations. It is closely related to the 445 — see the model index for the pair.
Factory paint
Per the MMCI paint records, the 335 Utility and Universal used Prairie Gold (PG2) with Cherry Red wheels; the 1960 industrial 335 was notably finished in Highway Yellow with silver-metallic trim — a distinctive late-industrial scheme. See the full paint reference.
What to verify
