[AT] Ford 1520

[James Peck]

I have my 2019 Massey Ferguson calendar on the wall at work. A scanner/copier/printer is just a few feet away.  September's tractor is an F40.  It may be a green belly.

I knew a luxemburger-american who owned a cream and gray TO-30 lettered Ferguson. He had no idea of the tractor's uniqueness or history.

So Jack, does your wife ever sing the "Hit The Road, Jack" song to you?

[ Cecil Bearden] If I remember correctly an F40 was a Cream color hood and fenders with the rest being grey.  I have seen 3 in my short 65 years, and 2 were the cream color and the other was red & grey.

[Jack] I remember a new F40 with “Massey Harris Ferguson” lettered on the side which showed up at a neighbor’s when I was around 10. The guy who inherited and sold it had no idea how unique it was. Did any records exist as to how that tractor was painted and lettered?
