Recently I was at a tractor show and I came across something that caught my eye. It was a Massey Harris 44 that had been painted yellow with red rims. Talk was that it was an anniversary edition. I have since been interested in finding out more information about these models. Does anyone know anything about them?

Checking through my history documents, I see where there was one full month where MH used imported labor from Asia during a strike at the plant. Nobody seemed to clarify the fact that the tractors were supposed to be red with yellow wheels. Unfortunately, over 2850 tractors left the plant with reverse color schemes. All the workers were fired and then went to work for John Deere and became upper management employees. Many of them are still there because someone forgot to put their pension funds into the pension account. Fortunately, they didn't get into the JD paint section otherwise you'd be seeing a lot of JD tractors that were either yellow with green wheels or red with yellow wheels.
