I dont recall ever seeing a narrow front on a MM G1000

I don't either on a tractor that new and big. All of them I've seen around here have wides under them. Nice looking tractor too. That looks like a Gas model. Never saw a gasser either in those. All were diesels. Bet it passes everything but the fuel pump in the field.

May be a propane tank behind the seat.

Is it normal for the air cleaner to be sticking out of the side like that?

stevob671 · Nov 23, 2022

A lot of pullers liked to put narrow fronts on bigger tractors with smaller tires though I don't know the physics behind it, but I think it helps to put more weight on the rears while pulling.

That Vista has the 800 cu.in. motor, look
at the three bolt water jacket ...so
therefore the larger air cleaner will not
fit under the hood. The narrow front was
an option but very few left the factory
that way.

I see what seems to be 2 fuel filters in series, like a lot of IH Diesels. Smells of a Diesel to me!

Production numbers of MM G-1000 Vista LP gas
1967-290, 1968-100, 1969-174
Diesel......1967-721, 1968-450, 1969-425 These numbers are 50 yrs old so even fewer are in existence today. This looks like an LP gas Vista.These tractors were known to go 5000 hrs maybe more w/ good care before need for overhaul. Vista's had the raised operator platform. Would say that is rare tractor in 2022.

Tex Mark, Look closer you will see a distributor right behind the side shield for the fan. Two oil filters, ever seen an IH 1066? And someone else commented about the propane tank behind the seat is correct. Look beside the seat you can see a shut off valve.

MM-1600, where did you get that 800ci number? Even the mantra of your user name only has 585ci. What do you mean 3 bolt water jacket?

Texasmark · Nov 25, 2022

OOH! I see it now. Old eyes playing tricks on me. Thanks.

More options on placement of weight plus it was easier to load two tractors on one truck/trailer.
