Heres 14 pictures of the UDLX's that had been restored by the late 1980's....Since these pictures were taken most of the owners have passed and the tractors have been sold..Several have been thru 3-4 owners by now...Several have been torn down and totally restored again..I do have the serial numbers for all of these but have lost track of the location for most of them..Two of these tractors had already been shown in earlier topics..The UDLX with no front fenders sold in MO in 2016 with fenders on it but still no bumper..
The very last picture was taken at the 1985 PGR show at Waukee,Iowa....Of course mine is the wrong colored one but thats the way I bought it.....It was the thought that it had probably been 1938-39 since this many UDLX's were together at the same time...Since then there may have been as many as 6-7 at one show..I think that I was the youngest UDLX owner in the 1980's..
My current list shows 88 tractors left counting anything with a serial number plate but I can't guarantee that its 100% accurate..I have no serial numbers for 12 on this list but do have pictures for some of them..I'm taking the word of other collectors that some tractors on this list do exist....My guess is that if we could document every UOPN-UDLX thats still in existence world wide,the list could possibly be in the 90-100 range???My pictures prove that there were quite a few survivors..I read that a UDLX was parted out in the 1980's so that others could be restored??
So far we have missed most of the ice but we have 30 hours more to sweat thru..
