Gentlemen,
I know that many of you have a lot more experience and knowledge about different tractors than I do. So here is my question: I brought home a Mpls Moline UB Special today with intentions of fixing it to use moving wagons and equipment around the yard. It runs well enough to drive it home 7 miles, but definitely needs some TLC. I have a Farmall H, have worked on a few M's, and as I gained some new experience with the MM UB it seemed to be very much like the Farmall M in size and power. What were the pros and cons for the farmer in 1953 to choose one brand over the other? This particular UB has live hydraulics, foot clutch, disc brakes, and OEM power steering. I do believe that IH had a much bigger dealer network and probably better parts availability. And from a restoration point of view, the M sure is a lot easier to find new, used, and aftermarket parts for. What are your thoughts on the comparison of these 2 tractors?
