It really is just amazing to find Grandpa's tractor. I've been trying to find it for a while. Family members thought it had probably been junked out long ago. The tractor was traded off in the early 1960's. So, it's been out there, somewhere, for 40 years! What are the odds of finding something like that? And it could never have happened without the Internet. I was lucky that Grandpa's U had so many changes done to it while he had it. The modifications done to it, made it much easier to identify it as the family's tractor. That, and an elderly uncle who still remembers some of the modifications on the tractor from the thousands of hours he spent using it. For several years it was the only tractor they had for farming over 400 acres of wheat. Yes, this IS an amazing story! I am so happy to be getting it back into the family after all these years! Thanks Sloroll!
