[AT] Massey Harris/Massey Ferguson 35 SP Combine?

[Ralph Goff]

Theres at least one of these little Massey combines out in B.C. Canada. I 
had a picture that a friend took at a farm/car show there a few years back.
I'm surprised Al doesn't want the IH equivalent, the model 93. That had a 
little 153 engine. Theres a local guy has the newer version (203?) that he 
drove in a parade a few years ago. Sure looked small by today's standards.
