We've never owned a UDLX that I'm aware of.

The G550 is one of 24 of the 1555 Oliver's painted Moline yellow and called G550's. It's absolutely beautiful, and has been a 3.5 year project (almost like Jory was involved) since we started rebuilding the engine and going clear through everything. The only thing original is the gears and shafts. Everything else has been done. We haven't done a restoration like that in many years, just because we haven't had any we felt "deserved" that much work.

We did all the mechanical work and a lot of the body work, and we have a customer that does restoration work in the winter who did the detail and paint work. He's picky as they come. He sorted through my bolts and grease fittings to find enough of all the right color and even shade of color to match. Glad he did.
