We had a Massey Ferguson 33 grain drill, 17 run. It was a good machine. I sold it with the farm.

Hi, I have a Harry ferguson 12 run, disc opener, grain drill that I still use from time to time. It is 7 feet wide or 2.1 metres. I have the operators booklet. It is trailed not 3 point linkage and appears to have been made in around 1958. I will use a Mf65 to run it and a mf 585 self propelled harvester to take the grain off...

Was a few 33 drills around here and 2 row planters.

We used to have a Massey Harris 20A Drill on Steel Wheels.

The 33 drill is a good machine but parts are ridiculously priced. Some early 33s had bushings in the openers that wore badly. I never heard a good word about Massey plate planters. The later air planters were AC painted red.

I just listed a 12' drill on steel that I need to sell. Very nice old drill that needs a new home. I don't know anything about model number.
