Mike, I would say not too many years since the Massey last ran. The 6000 
Ford was parked in the shed soon after it was built in 2003 so that one 
had a long rest.
The Massey 444 was the main tractor that farmed that half section when 
the previous owner had the farm. You can see a little bit of it pulling 
a 12 foot Massey
one way disker back in the 1980s in this video I put together years ago 
on youtube.
One of the first jobs I got just out of school was working for a local 
farmer putting in the crop and working summerfallow with that exact same 
outfit. Spring of 1972 it was.
I learned how to appreciate air conditioned cabs, power steering, etc. I 
always say you don't truly appreciate those things unless you have 
worked long hours out in the open
in all kinds of weather on one of those tractors.
