This is my 1953 massey harris Pony. I plan on having fun this winter playing in the snow with it (although I'm sure my walk behind snowblower will easily out perform it) let's see some of your antique tractors!! I bought this one at an auction this summer

For some reason I can only attach 1 picture at a time. This is my friends wife driving the 3 wheeled mower. The front wheel turns 360* so it turns on a dime and gives you 5 cents change.

Man that thing looks HEAVY duty! I bet it weighs a lot for its size. Any idea how many hp?

I had to pull in the 10000 pound class because of the rear tire size. I had to add a lot of weight as you can see. If I remember right it is about 60 HP give or take a few HP....... I think with the right tire size, I could've got down at least to the 7500# class, maybe even 6500.....it was fun to do, but a lot of work. Its been 3 years since I've pulled it. It needs to have the regulator for the propane replaced. The diaphragms are shot, and they quit making the regulator in 1968. If you replace regulator, you need to replace mixer (carb). Not overly expensive, but it runs good, just doesn't make full power. I will keep it origional for now.

Looked it up. 63 HP at drawbar and 70 HP at belt. Propane would give a little more I would guess.

Years ago when I lived in Connecticut I had a 48 Farmall Cub; a 56 Farmall A with belly mower; and a Farmall Super H (can't remember the year). All of them were perfectly restored from the ground up. Had some good times with those tractors I tell ya. Made a great deal of $$$ when I sold them off too. Considering their age it was/still easy to get new parts for the Farmall Series tractors.

Boomer....who sez dat Farmall red beats a John Deere any old day...

I mow every week with a '48 Farmall C with a 60" Woods belly mower. Woods mower is early '60's. Runs great and no breakdowns.
