Saw this on “A Ritter Bit Will Do” and had to look it up. Interesting history on YouTube video.

The Minneapolis-Moline UDLX was the first production farm tractor with cab. Designed to operate as both a tractor and automobile, the UDLX was equipped with a 40 mile-per-hour road gear.

Seems like I read there’s a couple places that track known surviving UDLX. Never have seen one in person.

They occasionally appear on the auction market.

Often are $100k+.
