Love that old tractor. Massey-Harris was founded in 1847 in Ontario as the Massey Foundry & machine Manufactory. It merged with A.E. Harris & sons Co. in 1891 to become Massey-Harris making it the largest agricultural equipment maker in the British Empire.
In 1953 it merged with the Ferguson company to become the familiar Massey-Ferguson. After many years of financial trials, the company was eventually purchased by AGCO Corporation of Georgia, who currently owns it.
Since 1962, Massey Ferguson has been the world's leading tractor brand. Currently, there are more Massey tractors than any other, worldwide. (see wikipedia)
sorry, couldn't resist the Green Acre - ism of a passion for the tractor.

I hope you don't mind, I love those pictures you posted, and it reminded me of some shots that I felt compelled to take (with my phone cam) just near Toronto that I would like to contribute. I was on a country drive too - if there are any locals looking, this is just off of RR 56 near Blackstock Ontario.
