Ratdat Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 A bit o' tractor shite for those that like it... I've been offered this little gem for £600 which is a right bargain I reckon so I'm gonna snap it up for a bit of farming action. It's a Massey Harris from the early 50's, not sure what year it yet but probably earlier than '54. It's a French built one (just been imported here) and in brilliant condition... even the headlights work! Got a plough, a drag and a grass cutter too. Now that's what I call real patina
pompei Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 Hey, I just hope I don't get stuck behind you on a twisting lane
M'coli Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 Looks great!!!Spent many a (youthful working) hour on a M-F 35, so should be good fun!
mouseflakes Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 That's smashin'. Reminds me of George Adamson's illustrations in Ted Hughes' 'The Iron Man'.

Mr_Bo11ox Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Hey VWP are those pics from 'la musee du M. Dufresne'? I've been there.
Father Ted Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 someone say tractors...took these at a tractor scrapyard didnt think anyone here would like them Is it old, obscure or shite?Is it rusty or would it rust prolifically if left unattended for 5 minutes?Doesit have an engine in it?Then it qualifies.
Pillock Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 That's what it's all about! Gorgeous tractor and like you say, actual proper patina.So how come farmers reckon they need £200,000 tractors every few years to stay in business? £500 and a sack of potato seeds is all you need, get sowing! I want to see Ratdat's Farm Shop up and running next week

wuvvum Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 I'm just trying to picture the neighbours' reaction if that appeared in my driveway...
