[AT] Minneapolis Moline 445U was D15 WITH FACTORY 3 POINT RUNNING A FINISH MOWER

[James Peck]

They started with Category 2 3 point hitch?

Mid mount pto, maybe not a first but 3 point hitch and mid pto maybe.

[deanvp] Here is my current guess on when 3 points were first offered by some of the major manufacturers

A.C.    model D15 in 1960

Case model 430 in 1960

Farmall model 404 in 1961
