Just purchased 1947 Massey Harris Pony..Any other owners of same?

[papabear]

Just bought a restored Massey Harris Pony with the solid front axle(non adjustable).
Has about ten hours since completion of the resto. Has excellent sheet metal,side shields,paperwork for motor rebuild,correct colors with decals,etc.
Only issue(not that it is a huge deal) is that the owner installed new turf tires on the rear as he has 10 acres of lawn he liked to cruise the tractor around on. Eventually,I would like to put a new set of ag tires on the rear to make the tractor authentic as it is a parade/show toy.
Can't wait to get it home and post some pics.
Any other Pony owners here on TBN?

Dont own one, but one of my first projects in trade school was to rebuild one's engine..

Enjoy your new tractor!

Yup, got a 57 I've been trying to get back together. Need some more money though.

Here' ours. Pretty much brand new, circa 1954 or 55. Dad sold it when I was married and living elsewhere at the auction when he sold the place. Wish I'd been closer at the time. I still miss it. It was a nursery stock and market garden farmer's dream.
