The UDM was a joint postwar production between the USA and Britain. UDI rear ends were shipped to Britain and then either 48 hp Dorman 4cyl diesel engines or 60 hp Meadows 4cyl diesel engines were installed. The Dorman powered unit was the UDS and the Meadows was a UDM. Approximately 750 were made between 1946 and 1948. These tractors were built in the UK but many were exported to Australia and also New Zealand. The two offered in the Fall Harvest Auction are the only two that we know of in the United States. This UDM has been repainted and has like new tires. It is a 24V battery system and this tractor does have a dead spot in the ring gear that may need to be turned with the bar in the toolbox. It was recently sent from a prominent collection in the England to be sold here. Located in Nokomis IL.
