MM Lawn Mowers

Minneapolis-Moline lawn mowers were the featured display at the 2001 Winter Convention in Plower, Wisconsin. Alan Goodwin shares the following information from his display of MM lawn mower literature.

Jacobsen made Minneapolis Moline lawn mowers from 1962-1969.

  • 1962-63: Lawnmowers were brown offered only in model 107.
  • 1964: This year brought the new color of yellow with models 108 and 110.
  • 1965: The 108 & 110 models were kept in yellow, while the white band around the front of the grill was introduced.
  • 1966 brought lots of changes: A 4-speed transmission replaced the 3-speed, a full steering wheel was introduced, hydro transmissions were introduced, and the models available were 108, 110, and the new 112.
  • 1967 brought no major changes.
  • 1968: The 107 reappeared this year in yellow after laying idle since 1962, and took its place beside the 108, 110, & 112. Some of these mowers had a new electric clutch.
  • 1969 all models were again part of the MM line with the addition of a new 114 model. The steering wheel this year was three spokes.
