Hi All,
In the latest issue of the MM Corresponder (Page 7), there is a picture of a 'Twin UB' (owner Isaac Martin, lower right on page).
Does anyone here know more about this tractor? I am intrigued because the tractors seem to be mounted quite close together.
Obviously, the left engine/transmission (when sitting on the tractor), doesn't have a pulley mounted on it. Is the pulley pictured only driven by the right engine?
How was the rear-end tied together? Did the axles between the tractors get connected in some fashion?
Is there any provision connecting the clutches/throttles/brakes/gear shifters?
I find it fascinating the ingenuity exhibited by farmers (who probably had deep pockets at the time).
