Ed,the top picture is the $1000 UDLX you found for me at Kingman,KS.These 3 tractors plus a KTA Twin City were purchased by me for a total of $7,000 in the early-mid 1980's.Today it would take over 125K to buy them in the same condition.
The 1970's to the mid 80's were fun times in collecting.Everyone helped each other.It was mostly just farmers that collected.Very few tractors were beyond my reach back then.I'd love to have all of my 125 old tractors back but someone else is enjoying them now.Do you still have the Rumely 6 and W-40 McCormick?
Just a little story here.In 1975 I and a friend found a MM with a cab at the Lyons,KS airport.It could be bought for $300....We werent sure what it was so thought that we had better go home and do some research...We found out that it was a rare UDLX so we were going to buy it...When we were back out that way a few weeks later we found out a local collector had decided to buy it when he found out that we had looked at it.
In 1978 I watched a friend buy a running 30-60 Aultman Taylor for $5,500.In that time peroid another collector we knew was agonizing over buying a real early 30-60 E Oil Pull for $10,000.I can tell story after story like that.

He has patiently suffered my incessant chit chat on the subject of tractors for longer than I care to remember, and on many occasions he has put himself out, dropped what ever it was he was doing, to come and lend a hand cranking handles, or loading a find onto a trailer. Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
