We are ten days away from our big celebration "Massey Expo" in Lincolnshire, England.

Plans are finalising very well at the moment and all we need is for this dry weather to continue just a litlle longer. 
There are some great Show Stand displays planned, these will be featuring all era's of Massey - Harris, Ferguson and Massey Ferguson. Together with  quite an entry of Ferguson and Massey Ferguson tractors in the tractor section it should give a broad spectrum of Massey Manufacturing through the years.
Our local M-F dealers Chandlers of Horncastle are supporting the event with one of the very latest new M-F tractors on my show stand.

As we prepare over the next few days here is a glimpse of part of our UK Celebration material, some in conjunction with Minnesota Masseys and MCA in the USA, ensuring a global presence at our first 175th Clebration event for 2022.

We hope the other shows in both the USA and Canada all follow on with some great material for this very special 175th Anniversary Year. 

Please keep the photo's rolling from around the World as the year progresses.

Malcolm.






 

Malcolm,

It all looks and sounds very nice!  Wishing you the best for good weather, good health, and a good turn-out.

Cheers,

JB

Thanks for your words of encouragement John,

Just preparing information for our displays, I came across the attached Poster from our 1997 150th Anniversary event, where has those 25 years gone??? Also attached the banner which we displayed at that event which still hangs on my walls.

The first load of M-H potato equipment on the  field this morning.

I know Alan Harris is watching these up dates with interest from his home in Suffolk.

So for you Alan here is the first tractor on-site for this event, this tractor was also part of the 1997 150th Anniversary celebrations on the same field.

Love the Pacemaker! I gotta admit, the U frame tractors have grown on me in the last couple years. 

Another Lincolnshire "Massey Man" following this thread is Jack Turner, this one is for him    as the second load this afternoon was the 744 with fertiliser spreader.

Jack was very excited about attending this special event on Saturday but unfortunately now cannot make it, some of you Massey Collectors will remember his wife Judy and her lovely home baking, well I am sorry to say Judy is currently sick and Jack will have to stay at home at the weekend.
Please keep Judy in your thoughts and we wish her a speedy recovery from all the "Massey Family".
So here are your photos to digest Jack.

Dakota,

Hate to dissapoint you but it's not a Pacemkaer but an M-H 25-40 - its bigger brother.  But easy to confuse from a distance.  Malcolm is in fact at this point in time carrying his red Pacemaker to the show site so maybe he will put it on later.  They were both made only in 1938.

All the best
John

Well I stand corrected then, still love it though! Good to hear from ya John.

This post is really for Joe, just so he can see how a 66 inch GP worked in the Lincolnshire potato fields, seen here with the M-H planter, the first exhibit in my display of the growing season of Potatoes from the Field to Fork in the Lincolnshire Fens.
This tractor also took part in the 1997 150th event.
