Minneapolis Moline Model???

My uncle has this MM and nobody can figure out which model it is. The S/N on the engine is legible, but the body one isn't. The engine tag says it's a 3 5/8 x 4 4cyl EE with a S/N of 0174803744. I'm pretty sure it's an RT, but what subset it might be, I'm not sure.

My grandpa says that the foot clutch/gas are rare on this tractor. It also has the wide front end.

If anyone has an idea of what model or year this could be, I'd very much appreciate it. Information on fair market value would be interesting too. It runs and moves, but as you can see, the paint is faded and it has a little surface rust, but everything is solid. A new set of tires and it'd be good to go, but if it's rare enough, we'll prolly restore it and go to some shows. :)
 
It won't let me post the pics, so here is a link to my pics.

Heck,any older Minnie is rare these days.Restore it and enjoy/show it!!I get awful tired of seeing the same old-same old John Deeres.
 
There's a Minn.Moline forum if you don't get an answer here. Just see the listings above. There are guys over there that've been working on Minn Molies since they were three years old but they keep pretty much to themselves.
 
Serial # is for EE engine for an R tractor manufactured in 1948. The foot clutch would make it an RTI which is the industrial version of the R.
 
You might try Welter's Farm Supply, Verona MO., 417-498-6496. "Specializing in MM for 40 Years."
Thay have acres and acres of MM's, and the office/shop is full of Welters, the friendliest, warmest nicest family I have ever met. Don't have MM, but I try to think up excuses to go there. If they don't have what you want, they'll see you weeks later in town, and corner you and ask if you ever got what it was you were looking for.
 
Minnie mos rare what you been smoking LOL. Guess it depends on where you are. Ya not the most common tractor around but by no means rare. I look at one each and every day when O go check for hen apples
 
With that description it would be rare, not as many R tractors as the Z & U models to start with and then being an industrial that throws it into an entirely different class than an ag tractor and there would probly have been at least 500-1,000 ag tractors built for every industrial.
