16 Pics-The Rougher UDLX's From The 1980's

Heres are some of the rougher UDLX MM's from the 1980's.....The first one was in a fire if I remember right...Pictures 6-7-8 are all open cab models with serial numbers of 310022,310017,and 310018....Some of these tractors were restored.....Anything with a serial number plate was counted in the owners list....Picture 9 isn't really rough as it was under restoration....It came out of Colorado in the 1970's..I think pictures 11 and 13 are the same tractor and it got restored..I think pics 12 and 14 go together....Some of these tractors were probably better than they look..

The very last tractor is #310542...I purchased it for $1500 near Kingman,KS around 1984...I let a friend have it and never hauled it home...He has since sold it.....When we went to load it we found out that the front bumper was still on it buried in the dirt....We couldnt find any of the missing parts and the current owner didn't know the history of the tractor....I also bought two KTA Twin City tractors there..I would love to know where #310542 is..

With the upcoming ice storm I may off line for awhile....Things aren't looking good..They are saying from 1/2" to 1" of ice which means major outages...

Thanks so much for posting these! I have a few framed back and white pictures I got from a former dealer of UDLX's when they were new. I'll try and get some good photos of them.

Thanks for posting these pictures. It hurts your heart to see them in such rough condition and so many parts missing. Where is all that missing stuff? It is hard to imagine there are more UDLX's out there but there probably is somewhere. Has there been any more of these found in the last - say 5 or 6 years?

Know of one found last year!

The 3rd picture down is #310593...I did some research and it sold for 146K in 2009 so lots more of it must have been there..

Lance,dig those pictures out..Heres another view of #310542 that I bought at Kingman,KS..I would love to see what it looks like now..
