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

[MasseyH at aol.com]

Hi Al & Herb,
 
I have a working MH 35 combine.  To say the least it is a small thing  
compared to today's standards.  The grain table is only 7 feet.  It  has a 140 
Continental engine mounted on top.  It can struggle to cut  the heavy 
producing wheat so we normally just cut a half width.  It does an  excellent job of 
cleaning the wheat.  Great piece to haul to shows. Just  fits on my 20' 
low-profile trailer. Occasionally you will see a #22 2-row corn  head for them 
as well.  They have the same problem - it just can not handle  200 bu corn 
so most only pick a row at a time.
 
Massey Collectors Assn. has a website at _www.masseycollectors.com_ 
(http://www.masseycollectors.com)  with a  discussion board.  You might want to 
start a thread there.  I know of  several here in the Midwest.
 
I just saw an old promotion film highlighting the 35 combine.  Hope to  get 
it on DVD soon.
 
If you can find one and have the money and storage you will want  one!!

Thanks
 
Gary

Surely someone on this list will be aware of any Massey  Harris/Massey
Ferguson clubs/discussion groups (if there is such  organization).  Suggest
contacting some of the older AGCO  dealerships.  When were they mfged?   How
big was the  cutting platform?   Probably just 2WD?
