saw this on photo ads, looks like a mutant to me, hood/grille sheet metal looks homemade and LP tank looks like an add on, I can't find anything about an LP UC of any kind http://www.tractorshed.com/cgi-bin/photoads/classifieds.cgi?search_and_display_db_button=on&db_id=367524&query=retrieval - http://www.tractorshed.com/cgi-bin/photoads/classifieds.cgi?search_and_display_db_button=on&db_id=367524&query=retrieval ------------- 1951 WD #78283, 1918 Case 28x50 Thresher #76738, Case Centennial B 2x16 Plow |

| Looks like a thompson hicrop conversion. Engine looks o small and that LP tank is like what we have on a WD that was converted back in 1960. |

The tin looks kinda modern for a UC too. Maybe they mean factory cause its built out of AC parts...Norm Swinford's Allis Chalmers book says that Thompson was furnished with parts to build their tractors up till 1960 which would have been durring the LP era. So I guess its possible it was put together that way new. But not by AC. ------------- Washingtonian by choice, Wisconsin Farmboy by the grace of God! |

That's a Thompson built after the end of the UC era, everything behind the engine is Allis supplied UC parts but has a Detroit Diesel and used simple sheet metal from Thompson. Here's one I saw at the Boonville GOTO in 2006
It was from when they still used the UC gas engine

| I have seen the tractor that is on YT. I bought something else from Dennis and looked over all of his stuff. He has alot of high crops in many different brands. I have never seen another UC, but this one I believe was a Thompson conversion and although the picture isn't the best, it does look like whoever did it looks like a factory job to me. Like Joe said, it is probably a Thompson conversion. It was a very neat looking UC high crop. I wish I had the time and the space, would be a very rare one indeed. |

Anyone have a picture of the one at the Coming Home GOTO that was tall enough that one could walk under it? Dusty ------------- 917 H, '48 G, '65 D-10 series III "Allis Express" |

Dusty, I don't think that was a Thompson and is a WC. Bill Long has a picture of it. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

Anyone know what it it's intended use was and who built it? Or did someone build it just because? Dusty

| That is not a UM engine in that, sump pan is wrong, carb is not a K5 zenith, manifold inlet arms are late WC/WD. Throttle linkage is coming from the front of the motor. On a UM it comes thru the block. That motor is WD or WC, note also the conversion plate between the motor and transmission, a UM motor bolts flush up to the transmission. UM motor also does not use siderails. Also with a carb it cannot be a Detroit............ |
