In 1997, collectors around the world gathered to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of Massey-Harris-Ferguson. Many of those who gathered at the various anniversary events wanted to see a continuation of the friendships and fellowship established during these exciting celebrations. It was decided to form a Canadian-based club, with a purpose of encouraging the preservation of the Massey legacy. Other tractors also of interest to our members are Wallis and Verity.
     

The membership fee is $25 per year. Members receive a quarterly newsletter which publishes the minutes of each general meeting, announcement of the date and location of the next meeting, articles submitted by members about Massey and related equipment, and notices of items for sale or wanted.

George inherited this 1961 Massey Ferguson 35 Diesel Deluxe from his father. It was purchased in 1974 at the auction sale of the late Leonard Shouldice of Shallow Lake Ontario. Featuring a Perkins 3 cylinder diesel this tractor was made in the Banner Lane Factory in Coventry England. It had been used on a snow blower to clean out village driveways in winter and on Len’s farm the rest of the year. The bumper added by Len, was fabricated by Mervin Schnurr also of Shallow Lake. After its purchase by the Gordon family it was used as a good second tractor on their farm. The bumper was especially useful to push loads of grain up the gangway to be fed into the thrashing machine.

Here is a picture of our MH 55 gas tractor. This is very similar to the one my Dad had when I was about 10 or 11 years old except his was a western version.

My dad had bought some land across the road from our home farm and it was full of willows and shrubs. He would hook a chain to the willow and it was my job to pull it out with the Massey. Then I would back the tractor up and pull out another. While doing this I had to sit on the front edge of the seat since I could not reach the clutch otherwise.
