Yes the two in those are LP. He has several of the LP's he really swears by them. It seems that Minni built a lot of LP's verses the other brands of the time.

Tractors on LP
We had a 3010 on LP when I was a kid.
If you ran it a lot it was fine.
If you let it sit a week or more you had to drag it ALL OVER at least a 100 acres to start it.ointhead
Or so it seemed, I was just a little kid at the time.
I will say about the only thing I remember from watching everyone try to start that tractor ended up being the Backbone of my Vocabulary today.

First off, thanks for the thoughts. I live across the river in the hills and only had one piece down there so walking a trackhoe a hundred yards took care of my equipment.
These pictures were in a local paper and taken the day after the Levee Broke I think. That is Hwy 67 in the First Picture.........the main hwy between St. Louis and Little Rock.
One of my best friends just sold the first house in that picture and I was thinking about buying it. We couldn't get together on the price and it was across the county line so that killed the deal.
Lucky me.The farm operation in the second pic is the old headquarters of a farm another friend of mine rents. He's the one whose equipment is pictured at the beginning of this thread. The Caterpillar backhoe in this thread is sitting under the shed in that picture.

I think that's the first time i've seen a 2wd 8100. I know people order them, but it was still a shock.

When he ordered it he was farming with all Belarus left over from his dads operation. My God that was a Story.
One 4X4 and the rest 825's and 925's. He had been renting a 2wd drive John Deere every summer to plant and plow with when he took over.
This was one of the first 8100's and he kept it at the end of the rent. Being on 8 row he really didn't need a front wheel assist at the time.
It is and was a really unique tractor especially for the time with the 46 inch rubber and tall fronts.
There's nothing like it around here and I have seen very few like it anywhere over the years.
It will handle a John Deere 12 row planter fine but not the 12 Row Kinze.
