My next door neighbor had one in the fifties when I was a kid but I was too young to know much about it. It was a solid looking tractors compared to the two banger Deeres we had. He traded it for a Deere 730 gas in 1959.
My father in law had a UB they used for chores. It was as abused about as hard as any tractor could be abused but it always started and ran. They lugged it down on the feed grinder every day then put it on the feed wagon and spun through the muddy cattle yard. It was rode hard and put up wet 365 days a year. The lights were smashed and I don't think any of the gauges worked. No muffler, just a pipe short enough so they couldn't snag it on something hanging low. Now that I think bout it I do remember one time something came loose in the rear end and wedged under a bull gear breaking the bottom of the rear end casting. They laid the tractor on it's side and welded it up, fixed whatever was wrong in the rear end and put it back to work. I can still hear that thing lugging away on the grinder grinding ear corn.
It did fail them one time when I was over there. The kids were dragging it around the yard to get it started but it refused them. I pulled the gas cap and looked into an empty tank. LOL

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
