Minneapolis-Moline Z - Olsen Pioneer Park, Kalispell, MT - Old Tractors on Waymarking.com

Get to Olsen Pioneer Park by heading east from Highway 2 on Pioneer Road at the north end of the Kalispell Airport for about a mile, then south on Helena Flats Road, at which time you'll see the park on your right.

Made from 1949 - 1953, the "Z" came in five flavours. Four depended on the front axle configuration, while the fifth, the "ZASI", was an industrial model. This one, with standard front axle, is a ZAS model. The "Z" had a smaller engine than the "U", with a 3.4L 4-cylinder gasoline engine with 3 5/8" X 4" bore and stroke. It used the old faithful 5 speed transmission. All the old Minnys, right through the G1000, employed a hand operated clutch, which was fine for a field tractor, but could be a real PITA on a tractor used for yard work.

This one is one of several tractors under an octagonal gazebo near the north end of the display area.

Each year in early September the Northwest Montana Antique Power Association holds an Annual Threshing Bee.
This event features steam threshing, steam plowing, antique tractors and engines, daily Parade of Power, shingle making, miniature steam train rides, running sawmill, music and entertainment. Lunch available and handicap transportation on grounds. Pets allowed in camping area only.
