Nice old tractor, i sometimes wish I had more land and less shrubs.I got myself a small old timer tractor. For the garden.
1952 Massey Fergusson.
In working order and provided with his original documents, so it can be used on the road too.
They are called "pettit gris " over here, the same nick name the French gave to M15 pickel's...
I was a bit confused when the seller asked me," so your the guy for the pettit gris",on my arrival. I tought it would come with a helmet....
NiceI have yard work plus lake work. I spent the last few days getting my boat lift, docks and marine railway back into the lake for another season. In the Fall I reverse the process. But....
I pick up the boat from storage today and lake trout fishing season opens on Saturday. Yipee!
Yes a very cool tractor. There used to be a huge Massey-Ferguson factory in my hometown of Brantford, Ontario, Canada. Both my dad and my wife's dad worked there at one point. It's amazing where you see these tractors. I saw one in Nicosia, Cyprus, on its side in a minefield from the 1974 war in the UN buffer zone. Story is the poor farmer was told not to go near it because of the minefield but did and hit a mine.I got myself a small old timer tractor. For the garden.

Love your house!Gardening and maintenance work....
Always busy from April to November... Less motivated each new year, but the results can always be appreciated once the work is done, sitting comfortably on the terrace in the sunshine, with a cold beer...
