I never thought I would see the day. So many things are off about this latest purchase of my dad's. 1) He doesn't spend money (I get it honestly) 2) Our farm has nothing but Ford a.k.a. New Holland tractors...always has and I thought, always would 3) Dad just bought a new tractor last year.
So, when he called to tell me he bought a 1962ish 35 Massey Ferguson I was a little surprised. He bought it from his Uncle's auction so that did make a little more since, it was a memory for him but it was still a Massey. I guess it will go well with our 1962 Ford from back in the time when Fords were red.
When I went up last week with the kids, we went out to take a look at it. It was in one of the buildings so it was a little dark. Reed was hilarious, as soon as we went in, he started making motor sounds when he saw all the tractors.
Reed liked the Massey well enough but he was much more interested in the big New Holland behind him. Millie liked it but she too wanted to sit on the New Holland. I raised my kids right, they know their tractors.
