John - I guess it depends on it's condition and what you plan to do with it. Parts can be hard to find, and can be very expensive. And if not operated properly these engines were prone to head cracking and valve problems.

So unless it's known to be in good running condition, or you have lots of time and $$$$, restoring can be a costly adventure. On the other hand the UD-9 can make for an unusual and fascinating display of first generation diesel technology.

Punch below for a shot of a UD-18 (a 6 cylinder "big brother" to the UD-9) belonging to a friend. He displays/runs this beauty every summer.
