Massey Ferguson 97 fwa

Bill from Scotland · May 22, 2010

Just bought this 97 fwa today from someone in England who said it came from a large sale in the US a few years ago (Kruse International Philips Sale). Does anyone remember anything about the sale when and where it was held etc. Does anyone recognise the tractor or know anything about it. These are very rare here in Scotland and I bought it to complete the Massey collection I have of big American diesels. As you can see it needs work but seems to start and run well it does have an occasional missfire and will needs hub drive rubbers fitted and some tyres but will make a great show piece.

Lots of info on the web about that auction.Do a search for Phillips auction + aummanauctions and replace aumman with Krause auctions.
Or you can start here.

I think they are rare everywhere. It looks like an excellent candidate for a restoration. Dave

I'm a big IH guy but I think that would be a sharpe tractor painted up.

If I remember correctly this model was built by Minneapolis Moline.
