Restore a tractor, make someone happy!

My wifes dad quite farming about 13 years ago and parked his Massey 33 in the shed. He tried to donate it to a couple of antique farm equipment clubs but no one would ever come and get it so one day he asked if I wanted it and since it's been in the wifes family since it was new and the price was right I said OK.

It hadn't run for about 8 years when I got it but after about an hour it fired up. I had to get tires for it and free up a stuck valve. I found a 3ph and complete hydraulics for it through a parts wanted ad on this site.

I really didn't have a use for it before but now use it for clearing snow and just enjoy taking it for a ride over to the neigbors once in awhile.

When the father inlaw comes over the first thing he does is go out to the shop to look at the "old Massey". I get a kick out of watching him lite up and can only guess at the memories it must bring back for him.
