The tractor's missing. How many WD's can you buy for that kind of dough?

Don, this cab is from a MM UDLX. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think the last complete one sold for over 500K. So, this is not just any old tractor cab. They were a tractor/car made by MM and very, very few are around today.

It looks like a cab off of an R Moline. An R with a cab is almost as rare as a UDLX. It does look a little rough to me.

just saw an auction on aumann's show on rfd-tv with one of these cabs on a tractor. I think the tractor brought $25,000.
I'm jealous. I have put lots of money into some cars for people, and then they end up selling the cars for a lot less than $25,000 or even what they have into it. If I could get $25,000 on every tractor restoration, I might be able to afford to keep farming.

I stil say they forgot the tractor. ;-) I could buy a fleet of orange for that. The joys of a free market economy.

Not bad for a starting price of .99 cents.

Neat, I grew up driving a MM Z. Nice tractor. After the motor blew out the side of the block we attached the tedder power shaft to the pto and another tractor so we could still use the Z to buzz wood.

If Ken in Texas buys that MM in the picture he posted he may make so much off it he won't have to deal with the rest of us. Just hire people to work on his AC's!
Just kidding, Ken.

Ken, No need to hate for correcting. I made a mistake, my bad. Guess I didn't quite read close enough.

Somewhere in Texas. If I owned this MM I would have enough to get a nice IB. I need to see what I can buy it for.
