I remember that fine March day in '73 when the truck came to deliver our brand new, shiny Massey Ferguson 135. I will never be able to think of that tractor as "old."

They would normaly be considerd old but tractors are something that were built to be used for a very long time. The thought of having an all original 1930's car to be used as an every day car is not that of most people, but it is not uncommon to see '30's and '40's tractors older than these that work full time every day.

correction, the massey ferguson 135 tractor has less horse power than the mf 175 shown in your show . the mf 135 has about 39 hp. and the mf 175 has about 63 hp. note' this info is from the original sales catalogue for these tractors
