Joe,
Many thanks for your post and very generous offer of starting a "Massey Fund" on my behalf, unfortunately the one word from your sentence which does not apply to this situation is "money" all your other thoughts fit the situation just like a glove slipping on your hand. I just have and need to be very patient with a watchful eye in that area.
Here is the next new Nuffield which came along to Salmonby, this time the Universal Three, bought new from Nuffield dealers F.C. Jackson and Sons of Coningsby Lincoln, registration number OJL 77, initially bought with no three point hydraulics and very soon had them fitted as an extra, seen here with a Ransome Cropgaurd sprayer attached.
This tractor was sold in the late 1960's and I managed to track it down and buy it back just before dad passed away, he was pleased to know that both his Nuffield's were back home and are still part of our family history.
Malcolm.
