Our purpose for the trip was to haul home a 1940 UTU MM..It was a very warm day with the temp being 72...Going out it was very windy in eastern KS but the wind died down in central KS...Going home with a load on was actually easier than going out empty.. I have the remains of a 1939 UTU MM purchased in Kansas in 1981..Its going to come in handy for a few parts such as a PTO,belt pulley drive,rear rim,etc. 1-- The UTU just after loading it in Kansas. 2--The UTU safely home in MO..Thats a 36" tire under the tractor..Theres a pair of nice 12.4x38's on the rear of the trailer.. 3--I bought the tractor with no side shields but was pleasantly surprised when the owner dug some out.. 4--The tractor had been converted to electric start many years ago..I love the generator tightner..It has later model manifolds.. 5--Old Dauer Brothers sign from Falun,KS..My Dad grew up on a farm 4 miles SW of Falun..In 1929 Grandpa bought a new 22-36 McCormick there..Around 1939-40 Dad got a new M Farmall there...They were a huge dealer that lasted until the Case-IH merger..

If so, I was following behind you along with the several thousand crazy drivers on the way to the Kansas State game. [Reply]  [No Email]

It looks to be an LP manifold (COLD) setup how does that function satisfactorily on gasoline?? MMDEL [Reply]  [No Email]
