MH to MF

What year did Massey rename their combines from Massey Harris to Massey Ferguson? I know the tractors changed in 1958 but was thinking the combines didn't change names until later but I could very easily be wrong.

Thanks

1960 I believe.

It was 1958.

When they used up all the MH decals, then switched to MF.

I'm with Ben. The customer got the machine they wanted, the stockholder got the profits they wanted, the production crew got the old stock off the shelves.
It is only the collectors of the last few years that care about such confusing things..
My Standard diesel from 1960 has a Harry Ferguson 35's emblem, an MF 35 dash tag with 'TO-35' printed into it. With 4x19 rims up front.... I had to quit wasting time trying to figure that one out....
