    Ferguson Jack help

    There's nothing "sketchy" about it. They work great, and have for more than 75 years! Mr. Ferguson designed it to facilitate quick wheel tread adjustment. I knew people who, on occasion, had to adjust the wheels on two different tractors twice in the same day.

    T020-PTO Fluid

    Massey still supplies the old M1103 oil, which is the original specs, but the prices is higher than a giraffe's nnalert. I recommend our customers go to Tractor Supply. I know it's counterproductive to send customers to the competition, but I just can't charge them Massey's price with a clear...

    Time to set the mouse traps again

    I've always found that peanut better works best. We had a dedicated jar of Safeway peanut butter at work that we only used on traps. Mice just couldn't resist it! It was really strong smelling, probably because it was rancid. The fact that the Safeway store in our town closed in the mid '80's's...

    Record feeder price

    I know a guy that bought an Angus bull from a top breeder some years back. He got him home, and immediately turned him in the bull lot. The next morning the bull was standing at the fence behind the house with a broken pen*s. It was during cold weather, so it had also frozen and turned black...

    Pittsburgh Cultivator color

    I have my father's original Dearborn angle-iron frame, two-row cultivator, that I'm planning on restoring. I know that the correct paint color for that is Vermillion Red. My brother has a newer Pittsburgh two-row, of the same design. We'd like to restore that, as well, but I'm unable to find out...

    Helge gets a chopper

    They didn't pick that name, it was their family name. Dr. Josef Mengele, AKA The Angel of Death, was the oldest son of the founder, Karl Mengele. Josef worked as a sales rep for the company in South America, after he fled from Europe to avoid capture.

    Tractor Fire

    My family owns and operates a Massey dealership. The tractor with Massey's name on it is built in India by TAFE. We refuse to sell them. RUN!

    Tractor rops/canopy

    Jay, there is an aftermarket parts company called Bare-Co that sells Rops and canopies for small tractors like yours. They are reasonably priced, too. Look them up, find a local dealer, and check them out.

    Antifreeze added to weed spray

    You are right about that! I don't know about other states, but here in VA, us private applicators have to be recertified every two years. Somebody always asks a question of the instructor about whether or not something is legal. The answer is always the same, Read the label, the label is the law!

    1950s farm prices?

    In 1952, my father bought a new Ferguson TO30 tractor with just about every available option. He tells us the price was $1262.00 He was 13 years old, had working for a neighboring farmer since he was 11, was making $3.00 a day, and paid cash for it. He's now 82, still working 6 days a week, and...

    ever use an outhouse

    Consider yourself lucky, Tim, that it was only a wasp. My great-uncle got stung by a black widow spider! He nearly died!
