The MF 35

Now as a kid, even a suburban kid of Brossard, Qc., I always wanted an old red tractor! It was just my luck and probably that there was an old but very functional Massey Ferguson 35 diesel tractor on the property. I am certain this tractor helped in wanting to buy this property. It is a 1962 piece of art and still works like a charm. It needs a little love but after doing my homework, I found that every piece I want is available for this tractor in Belize. So slowly but surely I will bring this baby back, looking like it did in 62', well maybe!!!

But with with the 17 acres of limes and other fruit trees we have this little gem will help haul the juicy limes (organic, I must say!) out to Mojitos worldwide!

So far I started with the tire, this one probably had not been changed for decades, it now has a brand new left tire! Now I just have to learn how to drive the freakin' thing! To be continued!
