Pictures

[DPittman]

Some pics of my latest acquisition. The first three is what it looked like when I drug it out of the shed it was in. Everything missing I have so it’s complete even though it’s in pieces. The only thing I’ve done to is straighten the crank that was bent back so far it was hitting the tires.
He was obviously in the process of putting back together or taking it apart. Ain’t figured out which yet. I do know when I crank it over it does not turn easily with the plugs out. Oiled the cylinders well and the bearings weren’t dry so who knows.
Might be a thousand wasps nest up there somewhere. Rear tires and wheels aren’t right but that’s what I got so they will do till I get it running good. Too many other projects that need more attention

The UDS is a UK tractor with a Meadows diesel in it. How it wound up in my yard is too long of a story but I wish the guy that owns would come and get it cause I don’t have room to shelter it.
The big rubber is what came with it

I'd be hanging onto that UDS if I were you! Cool, rare unit. Somehow one ended up here in Ontario and the chap who I bought one of my circular sawmills from had it to run the mill. He told me it was about 60 HP and had enough torque to move a mountain. He was selling it at the same time. Really wish I'd bought it, but I was a broke university student and was already dishing out what little money I had for the mill.

I talked to the guy who owns it yesterday and he said he’d be after it as soon as the one that’s on his trailer gets off so sometime this year. Maybe.
I’m at the MMCI winter show at Fair Oaks Farms in Indiana. If anyone else is here and would like to meet for a picture we can do that
