Tractors...Cool.

Mike; Do you own a tractor? Its a pretty informative site especially if you own an older tractor. which I do.
What I like about the forums at that site is that you can hit the + sign and read all the replies.
FWIW, I think that forum software is the pits; maybe it's improved, but I haven't seen it in use in any of the areas I go to for several years.
I'm not real keen about Prospero, but it's better than the the tractor forum SW.
I also thought the home page there is way too busy.
Bob; This sit lends a new meaning to the word " busy".
We had a pretty good tractor thread going in the old tavern. Don't remember if any of you guys contributed to that one or not..........
As an old farm boy, I cut my teeth on a tractor steering wheel. ALL Massey Ferguson. If any of y'all have green tractors, ya can just go hang out with the cooks or something............(-:
I currently have an MF35, and a few implements. And has a Cub, if I remember correctly.
Whadda y'all have?

As an "old farm boy", wouldn't that have been a Massey Harris ?
I went with my father several times to watch them being built.

Phil, I ain't that old !!! Actually what I started out driving was a Ferguson. Most all of my family on both my Mom and Dad's sides had MF equipment.
I've never been to a tractor plant, but would love to go sometime...

Although they changed the company name when they bought Furguson in '53 after Furguson's fallout with Ford; they didn't start using the Massey-Furguson name until '58. M-H moved to Toronto from a small town about 50 miles east in the 1870's and had a huge foundary right in down-town Toronto that was still running full bore when I was a kid. One of the first tractors they built under the M-F name was your model 35. .

Boss Hog; I have a John Deere 420 w, made in 1956. Almost as old as I am. Now back to the cooks.
Boss, I learned to rake hay with a Ford Golden Jubilee. (8N). This tractor did everything on the farm except for the heavy stuff that we used "old alice" an AC WD45. We still have alice 30 yrs later but now have 3 Fords 3000, 3910 4WD, an 5000 and a MF 390T. Times are different, it still takes all summer to put up the hay that will be fed all winter, except its 6-700 1000lb bales instead of 3-4000 70lb bales. The hours are the same as always dawn till just past dark but the time in the top of the haymow has been almost eliminated. I couldn't do it anymore anyway. Thats my tractor story.

Hey -- that's my second favorite website! Great help for the owner of a '52 Farmall.
Andy; Nice tuff olde farm tractor. A friend of mine still uses two of them to get his hay .
