The Moline Universal Model D was built by the Moline Plow Company; the Model D (introduced 1917) was the last of the Moline Universal series and was produced until about 1923. It was an early two-wheel motor-cultivator and is widely cited as among the first tractors offered with an electric starter and lights.
