Massey-Harris-Ferguson Memories 1953-1958

Written through the memories of people who were involved before, during and after one of the largest company mergers, between corporate giant Massey-Harris and tractor design supremo Harry Ferguson.

This book is lavishly illustrated with around 500 archive photographs, altogether presenting a unique piece of farm mechanisation history from this well known author. Compiled in 49 chapters concerning the activities of this company in all parts of the world like North America, Egypt, Sudan, Yugoslavia, Australia or the south pole expeditions just to name a few.

 Massey Ferguson Prospekte 1976 - 1985 is a collection of sales literature of the Massey Ferguson 200 - 500 - 1000 - 2000 - 1200 and 1800 series of tractors. What makes the book of extra interest to the Massey collector are the typical German versions of the MF 1200, 1800 and 1805 sales literature. And also the 500 serie of tractors had specially made for Germany sales brochures that are also part of this book.

Grain harvesting may have been the spearhead through the history of Massey’s harvest machinery developments but, as John recounts here, many, many other lines of harvesting equipment have been produced over Massey’s 160+ years history. As in his 11 previous books on Massey and Ferguson history John has left no stones unturned in his quest for the complete story and identification of the full product range over the years.

Whilst this book does have a focus on combines and their development, he has documented probably exhaustively every other type of harvesting equipment from mowers to loaders, game flushers to kale cutters, balers to sweet corn harvesters and so on. John’s latest contribution to the documentation of Massey history is perhaps unique in the documentation of farm mechanisation in that it summarises all types of harvesting equipment marketed by a single company throughout their history.

The book is lavishly illustrated with over 800 photographs to compliment the text.

Massey-Ferguson 35 & 65 Models In Detail
 

Launched in 1958, as the successor to the ubiquitous Ferguson TE20, the Masey-Ferguson 35 was a product of the merger of Massey-Harris and Ferguson. It incorporated numerous improvements and new features and became massively popular worldwide. Its companion, the 65 model, was introduced shortly afterwards and was a larger tractor, offered with the revolutionary Multi Power system that gave 12 forward and four reverse gears. Durable and versatile, these tractors are still a practical proposition today, and even unrestored examples command high prices. Michael Thorne, author of Ferguson TE20 in Detail, continues the story as he describes the development of these models, the production versions and their capabilities, options and extras, conversions, implements and their use today. Outstanding surviving examples are featured in some 80 photographs specially taken for this book, and there are approximately 120 accompanying archive illustrations.

Massey Ferguson 100 Series In Detail

Following his well-received books in this ‘In Detail’ series on the Ferguson TE20 and the Massey Ferguson 35 & 65 models, Michael Thorne, founder of the Coldridge Collection, which houses a host of covetable examples of Ferguson and Massey Ferguson tractors. turns his attention to the outstandingly successful and well-loved 100 Series of tractors.

Of the 100 range, the most popular was and remains the 135, an updated version of the earlier 35 model. Half a million 135s were built at Massey Ferguson’s factory in Coventry alone, with production overseas on top of this figure. Another big success was the larger, more powerful 165, with nearly 200,000 sold. This model, like the 135, is among the most popular and sought-after classic tractors today, although many 135s and 165s are still in active use around the world, in spite of their age.

The 100 range also included a great number of other models, and in addition to the 135 and 165, which are given in-depth treatment here, important models described in detail are the 130, 148 Super-Spec, 168, 175, 185 and 188 Super-Spec.

There is an extensive chapter on the implements available for the range, and another on conversions – among them four-wheel-drive and conversions to suit specific tasks – and accessories. Finally, John Farnworth and Bob Dickman, who worked with 100 Series tractors around the world, have contributed their own fascinating accounts of how ‘their’ tractors fared, the varied work they did and the sometimes challenging conditons in which they did it, in far-off places including Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, Ethiopia, Malaysia, Kenya and Australia.

Featuring 290 illustrations including  detailed colour photography, specially commissioned for this book, of outstanding examples of 100 Series tractors this book offers an unrivalled store of knowledge for the owners and enthusiasts who care passionately about these tractors, and serves as a tribute to the people who made them.
