Minneapolis-Moline G1000 / G1000 Vista
VerifiedThe Minneapolis-Moline G1000 (1965–1969) was a core six-cylinder “big-G” tractor, offered in Row-Crop, Wheatland, and Vista forms.
Identification & configuration
The G1000 is part of the six-cylinder big-G line — distinct from the earlier four-cylinder G tractors. See the big-G overview.
Factory paint
Per the MMCI paint records, the G1000 used Industrial Yellow with a Dyna Brown (later Yellow) powertrain and Yellow/Silver wheels; notably, MMCI records that only the first 50 LP and 100 diesel G1000s had the white center grille band — a useful early-production tell. See the full paint reference.
What to verify
- Body: confirm Row-Crop vs Wheatland vs Vista, and the fuel system.
- Serial / plate: on the transmission case; decode the serial (ranges below).
- Early-production tell: the white grille band marks the first LP/diesel units.
