Found Minn. Moline behind old burned out house. I thought it was an old panel truck, but when I got close realized it was the cab I was seeing. It is an older model, but has fully enclosed cab. I do not know anything about Minnie's. Tires are rottet off but rims are good. Any help would be appreciated. Owner died 2 years ago and son said he would sell it for 500. Didn't get number, dont know where is located on tractor.
 
The sheet metal is worth that. If you need anything a relative of mine has a harvest gold goldmine in MO. I can get you info.
 
Thanks, might be contacting you on that. Any idea what model this is or where I can find numbers on it? The cab is rounded which makes me think its a 50's model.
 
I think you're josh'in us, but on the odd chance you're NOT you'd better get it bought. It's worth a LOT of money.

UDLX
 
If what you found is a uldx, they are worth their weight in gold, and I am not kidding you a pound,so tomorrow you run, do not walk over and buy that thing! If you think I am kidding look up ULDX on the moline site here! If that is what you have found, buddy you just won the lottery!
 
No, not joshin anyone? I honestly don't know anything about these tractors...I only started foolin with JD's 2 years ago. That picture looks just like it...the fenders on the front are in really bad shape, but the cab is intact. How much money is it worth might I ask?
 
Be VERY CAREFUL, there is a scammer in Michigan who has pulled this "I found this??" a couple of times, he's been convicted twice and is still loose!!! He does it in old cars also, even had an R cab to go with the UDLX, been a year or so ago, probably needs money again.
 
If you're considering, email me and I'll give you a name, phone#, address, bamk account #, Michigan State Police contact and alot more of the guy who did this before. John
 
Look, I don't have any reason to bull crap anyone. I don't appreciate being called a liar and a SCAMMER. I am just tellin you what I found. I came on here to try to get some help...well thanks for nothin.
 
First of all, I don't appreciate being called a liar...secondly, Im honestly just trying to find out what I have found, thought I might get some help on here, but apparently all I am going to get is people telling me Im a scammer? Thanks for nothing.
 
Hey, Shoot me an email. Don't worry about everyone else on here. I would be interested in this tractor. I would really like you to email me pictures of it if you can.
 
Dang man!!!

Thats awesome!!

If thats a UDLX... Youll be set for life, and the envy of this site :)

VERY happy new years dude!!
 
If you don't want it for $500.00 then let us know where it is because there are lots of people here who will buy it,I have seen 2 UDLX sell and both brought well over $100,000.00.
 
This gentleman made his find 90 some days early,,sombody should have informed him April Fools Day is still a long time away.

If this is for real, and I have no doubt that it is not, we should be viewing pictures in the next few days. But like Balloon Boy,,lets anticipate scam, and hoax.
 
Don't you people know that only a little over half of these tractors are accounted for. Don't you think the other half has to be somewhere..... Let's give the guy a break and don't rake him over the coals, UNLESS someone can prove him wrong.
 
I found one too! Maybe you have been lucky enough to fall into the same honey-trap I did.

Going North out of Great Falls, MT you cross into Alberta at Sweet Grass and keep going north. Into Canada a couple of hours on the right side just as you make a little curve this old dude has a UDLX setting there on a little hill behind his barn. His ranch is near an exit and when my brother and I stopped in to talk he indicated lots of folks just stop by to visit. He quikly admitted its one of the few ways to get folks to just stop and chat about tractors. Best wishes for 2010, Harvey
 
It could be a UDLX or a R with a cab. The cabs were factory options and kinda rare. Post a picture and find the sn and I can help id the tractor, Model and year.

man I would shut upb now , write a check , get a recipt , haul it home before you or anyone elses chages their mind ,, stop , bragging about a find like that for a pricwe like that makes folks into no0n believers and creatwes jealousey ...
 
You don't tell a very believable lie boy. Most liars try to go into too much detail and trip themselves up, as you did. Tires rotted but rims good????
 
Several years ago i saw one at a local tractor show.The guy told me he would sell it for 35000.
I thought he was nuts then,guess it would have been a good investment.
 
BHA2,
You've never been to a junk yard have you? Have you ever seen a car, truck or machine with the rubber rotting and dry-rotted, yet the rim is still solid? I have. As on my Case Vac. Bought it with a semi-stuck engine for $100. When air was put into the tires, the tubes came out around a 1/3 of each tire. After getting the tractor running, I replaced the rotten tires with new rubber on the SAME rims. They were fine, and this was a tractor that hadn't moved in 15 years. So, maybe you should get out in this world and see places and things before calling a person a liar.

In this day and age your story isnt very believable. Lets see some pictures and dont tell us that youve never heard of a digital camera.
 
#1 if you are telling the truth jump on it a week ago.
#2 if it is in fact a 30/40S MM then it would almost have to be a UDLX and in that shape at auction they have been known to sell for $50,000 plus so again jump on it last week.
#3 the chances of finding a MM with a cab that is very old in not likely but if you have why don;t you own it. For $500 you should have it home and hidden in a shed a week ago. And yes hide it or it might just grow legs and take off on you
 
Too late, guys. I already bought the one he's talking about. I bought one the week before from a widow that had it in the garage for 50 years. Perfect condition, $300.00. Next week I'm buying a couple of Essex tri-directionals.

I have quite a bit of money because a previously unknown uncle from Nigeria is sending me a ton of cash next week.
 
You guys all need to pull you head out of your a@#. Really though? If the guy had a great find, more power to him. If it's a story, so what? Don't tell me you have never heard a fake story before. O by the way, your parents telling you they walked to school everyday both ways up hill, yeah, sorry to burst your bubble of pride, but its a bs story. So now you can leave this poor guy alone and throw the bs flag on your parents. Come on guys, get over it.
By the way, hope you get that tractor bought bud, show these guys up:) Good luck
 
Don't know why you guys are raggin on him so bad
when I read it first thing I thought of was
Model R with a cab EITHER way, GO BUY IT.

I found the photo in Google Images

Moline Model R WITH CAB
 
I saw a Model A Ford with a factory tractor coversion on it 2 or 3 years ago.It was for sale and looked to be in good conditon.I know where there is a 39 mercury convertable laying in the woods if some hasnt stolen it by now.No engine or front end.Saw a nice Model A pickup cab for sale sitting on saw horses last fall.20 years ago I saw a nice restored Model AA Ford truck sitting in front of village grocery store.Stake body complete with racks for sale 2500.00 all new tires.Didnt have 20 bucks in my pocket.Years ago a neighbor had a nice Model A pickup for sale.75 bucks I was building a house and broke had to pass.Saw a completly restored A pick up sell for 3000 bucks at auction.
 
Thankyou. Lol. I couldn't have said it better myself. It's funny how if we only had money at that time, we could have several treasures. You always find the deals at a rough time in your life. I have been there. Just recently the neighbor lady decided to sell her families model T pickup. I didn't have the money but I could have gotten it bought for 1000 bucks.
