Mike: Sam is in Great Britain for the summer. If your going to be in Halifax for a few days. Two guys you may contact are Dick Giddens e mail He has also a web site of shows in Nova Scotia, called He is right in the Halfax- Dartmouth area. Also right nearby is Murray Elliott. Murray posts on Farmall page some and has a Super A, Super C , 8N and a MF

Of course right outside the city is Owen Davis. The last time I talked with Owen he had 52 restored letter series Farmalls. In fact at that time he told me the only items he did not have in letter series Farmalls was HV, MV and MTA. On all other letter series Farmalls and W series he has one of each fuel system. Example on M's he has Kerosine, Gasoline and Diesels. I have recently been told Owen's collection is now up to 80 some tractors. Not sure whether he is into duplicates or branched out into numbers series.

Owen and his brother Lorne live in Lower Sackville. I best get you to give me a call 519 247 3121. There are a few others I can put you onto, but are a few miles out of Halifax.

Another item you should see is the International OX pull at the South Shore Exhibition in Bridgewater. There was some discussion back awhile whether this would be held as it is a home and home series held in Bridgewater NS and Bridgewater Maine. Some question as to whether the oxen would be allowed to cross the border. This is truly a big event on the east coast Canadians use head yokes and the Americans use neck yokes. It is an old rivalry. It is the one place where you can go in North America and hear an OX get a lecture you would swear came out of a Law School. It will leave you in stitches to see teamster on one knee, eye ball to eye ball with the OX. After the lecture the OXEN pull the load 400 lbs more added after almost faltering on the last try. That exhibition is usually the last week in July.
