The highway department here in Duxbury is selling a 1953 vintage tractor. I
believe it is a Massey Ferguson, but could be wrong.

The town says it doesn't run, they can't get parts, so they will probably
end up selling it for scrap.

Want me to make an offer? I don't know anything about old tractors.

The town should put it up for bid - they are only going to get $100 or
so for it scrap.

'53 Massey's where the change over year for Massey. Massey-Harris
bought Ferguson and for the entire '53 run, the company was called
Massey-Harris-Ferguson - you never knew what you were getting and
from which company.

However, there are Massey collectors out there who might be interested
- I'm not. The town would do much better just advertising it and
selling it for parts - seriously.
