They were ahead of their time with that concept.

They also hit a bad time, wasn't the farm economy bad when that came out? The idea of one vehicle, tractor and town runner, was interesting, but the ecconomics weren't there at the time.

She's a beauty! Likely the most valuable collector tractor in the world, is it on display at?

Have a neighbor 2 miles away who has one. His dad bought it new. Had it restored 2 years ago.

Heard the company only made 150 units around '38 - '39. Today they think somewhere between 55-60 units still exist.

Years ago, in 1990 I think, a friend of mine gave $20,000 for one and hauled it home from near Chicago,,we thought he was nuts,, his widow sold it a couple years ago for over $100,000,, I'm thinking maybe only 100 made,,but not sure..

Since they bring such high dollars it's almost a wonder someone doesn't make reproductions, probably have to change things somewhat or get sued. Something like Cummins power would be good. Imagine in the '50s and '60's when "crusing" was in, crusing with these.

Actually if you think about it, half of them still around. That is a pretty good number.

Back in the 1980's-1990's I and several other UDLX MM owners complied a
list and ended up with about 80 known tractors..I have pictures of most
of them..So many have changed hands since then that its almost impossible
to keep track of them..Every 2-3 years a new one shows up..There could be as
many as 90 in existence??

Just be thankful Chip Foose didn't run it thru an OVERHAULING episode

What an interesting piece. I never get tired of seeing these and hearing the discussion around them.

Do you know the story on this? Early 60's Chevy p/u cab and hood, what model tractor? Not a bad try at copying, probably didn't have all the frills though.
