I had tractors out today while cleaning.

Have a Cub cadet in right now to work on if the rain stops and the parts get here. Pictures you have are taking for ever to load on my dial up LOL

Yes, sorry the are 3MB.

We had a nice rain last weekend, dry since then.

I am still trying to find my driveway after all the rain we have been getting. Since Tuesday we have had around 15 inches give or take. Guess you saw the pictures I posted of what my driveway is or was like yesterday. Been working on it as my body lets me

Just take it easy, do not over do it.

David G · Aug 10, 2013

I would come over with 6610, bucket and loader if I was closer and help you.

Is all that stuff broke down?

old · Aug 10, 2013

Oh I do. I go out for what I can do in an hour or so then come back to the house and relax or as I did today pickled 22 eggs. By the way it sure would be nice if that old Cat 950 40,000lbs machine I have on the place still ran. I bet that 2 yard bucket would make short work of my driveway problems. But it need new batteries at $100 plus each as in 2 of them and a hyd hose at over $100 and who knows what else since it has sat for 10 plus years

No, just keep using them and working on them. They were my dads.

I like the Massey-Harris. Others look good too, but I haven't seen a Massey in my neck of the woods in quite some time.

I took the H out for a couple mile run down the pavement today. You can hardly hear it run with the new muffler.

I am getting more confident with the MH, might take it out for a couple mile run tomorrow. I like to get stranded at home if possible.

My dad bought this as second owner in the late 60s'. He worked the snot out of it and it sat outside when he had it. I got it from him in 2004 and started restoring it. I have had EVERY piece off and worked on. I do not like the color that it ended up, so that will get redone and I am working on the fuel injection and electronic timing.

I had three neighbors that all bought Massey-Harris 22s at the same time in the early '50s. I put in several hours seat time on one of them. I really liked them, (of course being in my early teens at the time, I liked anything that you did not have to walk behind and hang on to the plow handles), but they had one serious design flaw, the frames were weak and would flex too much. As a result many of them would break in half.

COOL! Sure glad they don"t all need work... then it would be like my place!

Is your 44 a special, reason for asking is the rear cast wheels! Was standard equipment on 44 specials but guess you could order them for 44! I have a 1950 44 that also has the cast wheels!!!

I grew up with this tractor, started driving it when I was about 12. My dad let it sit for many years and it was ROUGH when I got it.
