This should be something that we all know. It could save lives.

1936 was the first year this model was made, starting with serial 130001 and had a total production of 3366 tractors. Is it all original? If it has never been repainted and still has the Kingston carburetor it will bring the most money. They usually sell for about $500 being a total basket...

I am curious if any one knows what was offered as the airport tow option on the Massey Ferguson 1000 series, specifically the 1020. I know my tractor came from the local airport and spent most its life pulling luggage and am curious if it has this option. What does it include, how do I tell...

As the 2013 Maple Syrup season is just around the corner, I thought I would start a thread to see how everyone is getting ready for the season and how everyone is doing once boiling gets underway. I have upgraded all my equipment, I went to a continuous flow evaporator, a vacuum system with 150...

I am considering buying a 3/4 ton diesel truck in the fall of this year hopefully. Looking at the year range of roughly 2004-2009. What are everyone's experiences with the Duramax Diesel and the 6.0 Powerstroke Diesel. (problems, mpg empty/loaded, ride) I want to hear from people with their...

When I used it a few years back. I had to take the part numbers to the Massey dealer for them to order the parts and get me prices.

Today I had the Massey 1020 out after last nights snow storm to clean the drive way. It started good from being cold and not being run in a week. I cleared snow with it for over a hour. When I turned if off to clean the snow from it before attempting to put it back in the garage, when I went to...

What would you add or remove if you had the option to be the design man for a new tractor? Any brand you want.

What do y'all use for trees: real or fake. I like the real trees and the idea of a tree in the house but parents don't want the needles off them stuck in the hardwood floor or the sap on it. Its a fake tree for us. How about you?

I am looking at a old road crew truck the township has for sale. Its a 1999 Chev 2500 extended cab 4x4. It has some what they call extensive rust (more or less surface rust), rotten floor, passenger door held shut with a rope, spongy brakes, missing emergency brake and loose steering. I...

Very nice. I don't know what I like more the tractors or the barn.

After reading the thread with the screwdriver inside the tire I thought I would start one of weird and odd things you have found in your equipment.

What type of wood for the hitch on a horse drawn mower would you all recommend. I was thinking of using Birch, Maple or Oak as these are available around here. Hickory or Ash would be ideal but are hard to get up here. Any input/ recommendations.

We have now hit the 3 millionth post. Look forward to another couple million.
