Like many other tractor enthusiast’s I have a history with Massey Ferguson that goes back over 50 years to my childhood. Having grown up spending countless hours around, on and in the Massey Ferguson field tractors & combines, these garden tractors help to bring back many fond memories while not taking up as much room as their big brothers do. My hope is to be able to make at least some of the parts needed for restorations available to those who need them.
I struggle between what I as a tractor owner myself would want to pay for parts and what funds are needed to make this worth the effort. I personally make each and every bezel and cap one at a time which includes a significant amount of hand work to get from rough cast to paint ready condition; these don’t come out mass produced from a machine in China or Mexico.
I hope to be able to attempt reproductions of other parts in the future. Currently I use plastic's which limits the potential items. Decals are out sourced and I would be willing to outsource other items (thinking sheet metal forming and other steel items) to anyone with the knowledge and skills to produce them and then market them under GT Reproductions. If anyone is interested please contact me through our general email at GTReproductions@gmail.com
