After seeing the UDLX in person I can understand why they were so unpopular. I don't think many folks wanted a tractor they could use as a car, so the Minnie-Mo people had come up with a solution to a problem that didn't exist. And getting into the driver's seat looks to be something of a chore. Climbing aboard my open station Massey would be easy by comparison.

My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
