Minneapolis-Moline G704 / G705 / G706 / G707 / G708
VerifiedProduction years: 1962–1965 (per TractorData).
The Minneapolis-Moline G704 / G705 / G706 / G707 / G708 is documented here with production years, a serial-number-by-year table, and its factory manuals and service bulletins.
Reading the serial table: in this era MM assigned parallel serial blocks to different fuel and configuration variants (gas, LP, diesel, row-crop, standard, etc.), so more than one block can be active in the same year. The table identifies the model and year; confirm the exact variant against your tractor’s plate and parts book. We do not assert horsepower, engine, or production-count figures until confirmed against factory literature.
