    Massey Ferguson 135 Rebuild Journey (diesel)

    Hi Folks, I am taking the plunge headlong. This tractor has been in our family since I was born. I remember being 3 years old and sitting on this thing so it has great sentimental value for me and I would like my son to have his first tractor experience on it as well. It sat parked for years...
