Kyabram Vintage Engine & Machinery Restoration Group
THE GOOD OIL Kyabram Vintage Engine & machinery restoration Group inc. P.O. Box 855 Kyabram 3619 July 2015 _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the July issue of our newsletter, The Good Oil. Happy Birthday to our July born members. We hope you all have a beaut birthday and many happy returns. - Eldred Johnstone 28th Meet Our Fellow Member This month we get to meet one of our newer and younger members, Peter Fletcher. Peter was born in Melbourne and is one of our under 50 year old members, and he now lives at Tatura. Peter did his schooling at Tyabb and Hastings which gave him a good education to begin life as a dairy farmer, then a diesel mechanic and now he works as a storeman at the Tatura Milk Factory. Peter got chatting to Bill at an engine rally and decided to join our club, so at our 2014 rally Peter expressed his interest in joining with us and soon after that he became a member. Peter thought that it would be good to join us to further his interest in vintage engines and also to be amongst like minded people. Vintage engines are Peter’s main interest but he likes anything old and enjoys seeing the old stuff at rallies and also enjoys the companionship of our members. At the present time Peter has eight vintage engines, ranging from the 1920’s to 1950’s, and they are in various stages of repair, from rally ready to future projects. Peter finds it hard to pick one type of engine as his main interest as there are so many great things out there, but he does have a soft spot for Rosebery engines. -
Records of Massey-Ferguson (Uk) Ltd
RECORDS OF MASSEY-FERGUSON (UK) LTD TR MAS Administrative History The origins of Massey-Ferguson can be traced back to Daniel Massey, who set up a blacksmiths and farm implement shop in Newcastle, Ontario, Canada in 1847. In 1870 his Massey Manufacturing Company was incorporated as a private company. In 1891 it merged with Alanson Harris Son & Company Limited of Brantford, Canada to form the Massey-Harris Company Ltd. In its first year of trading the company sold 41,474 machines, exporting 2,235 to Europe. In 1910 the Massey-Harris Company Ltd. developed its no. 1 reaper-thresher, its first basic combine harvester and in 1917 it launched its first tractor, the ‘Big Bull’. Massey- Harris became a full public corporation in 1927. In the 1930s Massey Harris bought the (H V Mackay) Sunshine Harvester Company Ltd of Australia (UK address Aldwych House, London WC2) Harry Ferguson began production of the Ferguson system tractor in the UK in 1936. In 1933 Massey-Harris built their first rubber-tyred tractor and developed the first commercially available self-propelled combine harvester in 1938. The year 1953 saw the merger of the two companies, Massey-Harris and Harry Ferguson Ltd into Massey-Harris-Ferguson Ltd and the company changed its name to Massey-Ferguson Ltd in 1958. Massey-Ferguson purchased other firms, establishing an industrial and construction machinery range after buying the hydraulic digger manufacturer Midwest Industries, Wichita USA. In 1959 Massey-Ferguson acquired the Peterborough based diesel engine manufacturer F Perkins Ltd as well as Standard Motor Company’s tractor plants in Banner Lane, Coventry and St Denis, France.
