Massey Ferguson

YouTube video of the Banner Lane factory.

Great video, Argon. They built a fourth shop in the early 70s. We were told it was then the biggest tractor assemby plant in Europe.

A fascinating video. As a youngster, neighbours in my road worked at Massey Ferguson (likewise many also worked at the Standard Triumph), I was given a book celebrating 125 years of Massey Ferguson from a neighbour, where the book covered the history of Massey Ferguson back to the roots in 1847 when Daniel Massey started with, I think the worlds first threshing machines, through to Alanson Harris, forming Massey Harris, with yet another merger with the Ferguson Company, of Harry Ferguson fame, to become Massey Harris Ferguson before finally becoming Massey Ferguson. Sadly, the book disappeared, never to be seen again, but I think #i may have found copies of the same book on eBay. The book title was "Heritage 125 Years, 1847 - 1972" The examples seen online seem very similar to the one I had as a youngster.

Mike, there are several books on Abebooks on MF with similar titles.
