[AT] Slightly off topic

[charlie hill]

I agree the time seems wrong for it to be a Red Ferguson but everything I 
see on it looks like Ferguson to me.  The angle of the steering wheel, the 
way the clutch petal sits, the shape of the sheet metal under the steering 
wheel, the shape of the fenders, etc.  I'm not that familiar with the Case 
tractors so I don't know what they had similar.  I did have one thought, 
since that film was made in the 40's, I'm wondering if it's been colorized 
and someone guessed at the color for the tractor.

I thought Massey and Ferguson didn't combine until after the war; sometime
around '51 or '52? Case did build a lot of industrial tractors during that
timeframe.

Nice video; love restoring old aircraft. The German assembly crews put their
names inside the aircraft too... we found that on a FW-190 I was helping on.

Great piece of history they have there...
