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.

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.
