Pahl's Nursery in Apple Valley, Minnesota has an annual tractor show every year on Father's Day.
These were built in Minneapolis. This is a 1950..

Is that its original color?

My dad and my granddad were both Minneapolis Moline farmers - but all those tractors were yellow/orange. In fact, I'm pretty sure one was a 1950s-vintage model Z (same as in your image).

My granddad had one MM tractor that was so old it still had a hand-crank starter.

This is a black and white with the name highlighted in color. I can post a color one.

Ah, I didn't "get that" at all, since I saw the yellow on the tractor and the green trees in the background. Thanks.

They are painted yellow called Prairie Gold. Kept that color to maybe the late 50's
