i used a #7 n.i. the same model as my granfather. around here it was either new idea or wood bros. there was some a/c mounteds too. a lot depended on the dealers support and who liked who. also some minnies and olivers. i've seen a 2 row mounted massey and one row massey . my old school bus driver had a self propelled masey harris . i believe the top speed was about 10 mph on the road. i think the previous owner told me about custom picking in the cold winter with it and almost freeezing to death coming home at 10 mph on it. never did understand why most of them guys didnt make some sort of cab except pride maybe! lol . i used to love to see one neighbor coming over to open up fields or when he custom farmed them, the whole field on a m.m ZB with the new idea mounted picker and trailing husking bed. he had three box bed wagons with false endgates. those old farmers were characters!! not like a lot of the newer guys who are so afraid someone might be trying to take their farm out from under them.he also drove an old REO ton and a half truck.till he traded it in on a 1969 3/4 ton i-h step side.my grandfather would help him and others with our 1952 ford 8n and #7n.i. and big box ford/dearborn wagon. i'll shovel ear corn over shelled any day! loli've gotten more satisfaction and sense of well being , over that old green wagon with ear corn covering the floor of it, than of any money in the bank or insurance policy!
