Anyone ever heard of a Grey, or Gray, tractor?

I'm also looking for pictures of equipment of this vintage for a video presentation I am making for my family for Christmas. Grandpa died a few years ago so I can't ask him to help me out.

If you have access to a video camera and a few hours, sit down with your elderly parents or grandparents and "interview" them about their lives. Many of the things I learned about my grandparents and their life growing up during The Depression were never covered in history books. When you get done talking to them its fairly easy to piece the videotape together for your own ever-lasting memory of your family and its past. If grandpa puts up a fuss and pretends that he doesn't want to cooperate, just ask him to talk about when he was a young man and how much harder life was then compared to today. That's normally all you need to do to get the ball rolling. If you're like me you'll come away from the discussion feeling like you have it pretty damn easy.

Hope this prompts you to do some interviewing of your own this holiday season when everybody gets together.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Here is a picture of one we had years ago. I dont have any information with me at this time, about the tractor.

And here's another almost all the way down the page. It alternates with a picture of a road grader, so you might have to watch it for a minute or two.

My plan is to incorporate pictures of the Gray and other equipment from the 1920's-30's into the final version of the videotape interview I did with my grandpa. I wish he was still around, and had access to this website. He would have loved talking about those days, and that equipment, with people like you who know so much about it. I think you would have liked him too.

I may be back here again in the next few weeks looking for more help. Thanks so much to all of you. Have a great Thanksgiving, eat too much, tell way too many stories, and hug your kids. If you have stories to tell, TELL THEM! Please.
