Would make a good collectors item to take to shows, don't know how much it would be good for farming.

I thought it looked kind of neat but yeah, what would you use it for. If it had an Allis engine instead of an off breed I would probably go take a look.

We've got a set-up kinda similar, but its got an A-C 201 engine on the front, and two WC rearends in it. Basically a 4WD WC i guess. It was junked out and we got the remainder of it for parts. Kinda neat, but a pretty crude job of putting it together.

I knew a guy that had a Minnie Mo U behind a UB like that . He pulled 5-16's in some real tuff clay hills most of the time:) His front tractor had front wheels to steer and the back set on an I beam bolted under the UB. The only control he had of the rear tractor from up front was a lever to run the hand clutch. He put the back tractor in 2nd gear, opened the throttle up and climbed on the front tractor and took of. When he was ready to drop the plow, he pulled the clutch in on the rear tractor and went to plowin. The only problem he ever told me of was the first time he came to the head land he tried to back off on the throttle (instinct) but only slower the front tractor. Since he had already started to turn, the faster running rear tractor jack-knifed him and he shoved through the fence, almost to the road before he could get the hand clutch disengaged for the back tractor. He soon figured out how to turn on the ends at full throttle.
