Cool link Dell. Thank ya very kindly.

Dad had ah big ol' Massy ya crunk it by hand. Seen Dad fly ah couple ah times. Sure wish I knew more about it. I know it ran on gas and had 6 spark plugs.

Well if I knew the model I could most likey find one like it among the red tractors.  Would have been before 1956 because that's when the merged with Ferguson and became Massey Ferguson.  Our big tractor is a 1957 MF-65:

Jackie's dad worked for MF  when they came out with the small tractor diesels,  he said they took the little diesels around and had field days to deminstrate the diesels,  said the last thing they would always do is have him drive the diesel off into one of the drainage ditches or ponds till the water covered most of the motor and then back it back out.  said doing that sold a lot of tractors,  really impressed people.

Aww. Heck, Now I ain't even sure ah that. It was RED. The back wheels were bout 5' tall. The front wheels were close together.
3speed gears.  He sure enjoyed playin' wid it.

[Texas Lawdog]

Yessir, That would do it for me!

[Delmonico]

OK, I'll get away from tractors this time, trucks and pick-ups instead, usefull on a farm.

Republic truck, from the teens:









Power Wagon Ambulance, retired from Broken Bow Newbrassky:







Ford:



31 Chevy:



30 Ford A:



32 Ford Dump Truck:



35 Ford Wrecker:



I'd a called this a 54 Chevy, but the sign said it was a 55 1st Series, so the other style must have been a mid-year intro:



Interesting, it had a powerglide:



51 Binder, 3/4 ton:







And my favorite, but the least useful, 29 Ford Model A Roadster Pick-up:

Well with the narrow front it was a row crop, since it was a 3 speed like our red beast then the thing had a 2 speed rear end.

Not that familer with the Massey's before the merger, did it look like our old red with the narrow front, ours of course has the wide.

[Leo Tanner]

Ahh, the slip an slide power glide.  Nothin like a 2 speed fer fuel economy.

[Arcey]

My oh my……

75 years ago this would have been what I wanted. That’s gorgeous.

See nothing new under the sun, they had Sport pick-ups way back then. 

[Texas Lawdog]

I liked the Wrecker and the Roadster Pickup.

The old Poweglide will be 60 years old in 2010.

[Ozark Tracker]

I remember in 1967 we got a chevy pickup with a 327 and a turbohydromatic,  big 4 barrel and would smoke them tires, posi trac rear axle, sure enjoyed drivin it.

[Leo Tanner]

Drove a 2 door Cutlass with a Powerglide in it.  Man, that thing would wind up ta the moon if ya put yer foot in it.  When it popped inta second ya was aimin fer Mars.  If ya was on the way ta church it was docile as a kitten.

That republic truck is cool, cool, cool. Very Rare to see one, much less running.

The Chevy with the Curved glass rear cab panels was nice too.

Them guys and gals up there come up with some cool stuff. 

Wish I'd had a good camera when I was there cooking in 2002, some folks had a restored and running Stanley Steamer.

sounds like a Massie Harris 101 or 101 jr 0r 44

[Delmonico]

Did it look like this Wiry?



Almost had to have been, because with a quick research the 44 and the 101 jr were 4 bangers.

[litl rooster]

Yer right about 4 bangers........I re read his post he mentioned the straight 6  Might of been a Silver Queen though

I think it was a red row crop.

[Texas Lawdog]

Jay Leno has got some Stanley Steamers in his car collection, which he drives.

[litl rooster]

it could have been a Oliver painted red

[litl rooster]

worked on a Ranch out west had one of these, it work you the death gradin the road...

[Texas Lawdog]

I didn't know AC made Tracks that big.  I hope the folks at RFD TV sent some folks out there to video so everyone could enjoy seeing all that antique machinery and vehicles.

LOL.... I was 7 er 8 when he had it.  Yer close Dell, The lay out is close. Rear Wheels were spokes. The Crank came out the front. The Exhaust came through the Cover over the motor.

I can see it in my minds eye, even though I have no clue as to what I was lookin' at.

I even remember Dad getting it started and warmed up, shut it down and take out ah plug and this Hose thing that would pump up the tires with the motor. Seems kinda dangerous, putting Gas in the Tires, don't think it made much difference cause they had Water in em' for traction.

I remember two brake pedals on the Left, the Clutch was on the Right and the Gas was like ah turn signal on the column.

Dang, the things you can remember about stuff... Still can't see the Name.   I see the letters, kinda gold leaf er sumpin'. 

[Texas Lawdog]

Almost every make of tractor had a different paint scheme.
