 Topic: New to me tractor
Posted: 23 Apr 2011 at 4:29pm |
Here is what I bought today. 1930 UC serial #25 with the continental motor. It needs a couple minor things tweeked but all in all it's pretty nice. Brand new rubber all the way around and it came with an umbrella that is in terrible condition.

I always love those UC's. Nice find Lonnie. I always thought those tractors were so big, and then I saw a UC high crop and it was unreal.

Looks like you had a very good find. The continental UC's are somewhat rare. In addition it is a very nice tractor. Full three plow without problem.
Again nice clean UC.
Good Luck!

Lonnie, nice looking UC. What the heck kind of antlers you got hanging above your string trimmer. Have you got a nuclear plant next to your hunting area or are those from reindeer?

Charlie, those are antlers from a Fallow deer. We used to raise Fallow, Elk, Sika, Reindeer, Whitetail and Munjacs, now we only have Whitetail and Muntjac deer.

Nice find Lonnie! Sure looks good. Hope you have plans for the umbrella, it needs some work, but for sure I'd save that piece that has the name on it.

I guess if your up the creek without a paddle, you could shot a Fallow deer and use his antler. ;)

I'd say, keep the umbrella safe inside, bring it out and mount it up as-is for shows... and when you go for a cruise on the UC, put a new reproduction umbrella on it.
The UC is one stout lookin' girl... I'd ride her!
