Massey Harris was not only known for tractors and the finest combines on the market but the Farmer's Handy Catalog featured products for the home and farm: everything from water rams, bicycles, and freezers to kitchen ranges and wood stoves. Each issue will have a section, Massey Harris for the Home and Farm, that will examine all of the unique things that made Massey Harris such an influential company.

Also look forward to a section called 'RFD' where readers can send in pictures of their own tractors and restorations, pose questions for other readers, search for parts or just establish contacts with other like-minded collectors.
