I remember in the late 70's helping my Uncle every harvest get his old Massey Harris all ready, what a job. His had a platform which you stood on and bagged the corn direct no auger on that one, when the platform was full of bags the tractor & trailer pulled up and we man handled them onto the trailer. Made me the man I am shifting 8 stones corn bags all day for 2-3 weeks ;-) every harvest. His ran on TVO (red kerosene). He kept it for ages but it got scrapped when he sold the farm in the late 90's :-(
Good for you preserving history and you and your son's legacy. Your boys will have fond memories of you and this project. Question, what is the reason for the dual tires? Was it operated in soft muddy soil? One wouldn't think it is to carry the weight. That machine isn't that heavy compared to what we have now. It will be interesting to find out.
How many acres did you harvest in a year from the Massy? I always found it easier to take apart then to put back together. LOL Have fun Ian - good bonding time.
Ok... its childish but... FIRST! And on a more serious note. Its nice to see you showing your children the value of legacy. Not all old things are worthless. Here's to another 80 years of life to that beautiful machine :)
Great video. I get my relaxation rebuilding old military vehicles. Just got through with a 1941 M2A1 Half Track. Love the old equipment. Heavy, and rusty....but simple and NO computers!!!! If you search my name on CZcams you'll find some of my toys. Thanks for a great channel and see you soon in Tennessee!!
Hello. You mentioned in one of your videos (can't find it now) about a honey or pollen 'dna' test available in Canada, where one can get a sense of the flowers the bees are into for different seasons when honey is pulled. Do you have a recommendation for a tiny operation that is curious about this sort of info? Thank you kindly. Stay warm!
Awesome father and son time. I my self like to get my hands dirty on old equipment like. Your boys will cherish that time you spent with them on the old harvester

Have you ordered all your replacement parts yet?
Nice combine to restore with the kids. Thanks for workshop video. The young people can begin to learn the value of fix and repair.

Why can’t we make a tractor that could automatically separate hives?
