Check out Issue #18 Outtakes
Issue #18 will be in the mail the first week of April. The feature story is the Moline built Massey Ferguson 95 and 97 tractors. Other stories include a story and pictorial about the last Minnesota Ski Whiz “Whiz-N” Day, an update on Champion Pro Stock Massey Ferguson puller, Carlton Cope, the UK built, Canadian sold Ferguson 2085, the Little Ferguson That Could, and the restoration of a MF 97 tractor. An “Extended Letter” by reader David Mullnix about his father’s last MF 65 tractor ride is an inspirational piece you won’t want to miss.
The special feature in Issue #19 will be an exclusive article by noted UK author John Farnworth documenting World War II tank production in Racine, Wisconsin. The article is richly illustrated and chronicles a little known aspect of Massey-Harris Company history.
There will also be several sections about combines and harvesting so if you have any great combine photos, be sure to send them in.
Don’t forget David Turner’s book, In Search of Yesterday. See the Commercial Ads link for ordering details. Also there is a new book on the market called The Massey Murders, by Canadian author Charlotte Gray. Look for an ad and review in the July issue of Legacy.
I have also started working on next years calendar. If you have any really good seasonal photos of tractors or Massey equipment, e-mail me high-resolution images and they will be considered for the 2015 calendar!
Don’t forget the 200 Series Massey-Harris Tractor Registry. It will be updated and republished again in January of 2015.
Sue and I hope to see you at a show sometime this summer!

We are totally out of Legacy Quarterly calendars. We had a huge rush of orders right at Christmas. Thanks to everyone who placed their orders and we apologize to those of you who missed out. We will order even more calendars next year.
As usual, keep the cards, e-mails, letters and great photos coming.
