I spent two weeks getting this inherited Massey Ferguson running in order to dig up the front garden I have (also herited) in order to plant roses for my late mother’s memory.

    This thing is so unbelievably broken that I have to stand and kinda jump on the clutch (I am kinda small, but still) to get it to move.

      That’s not far off with how they made things back then. My neighbor used to have a 1953 International grain truck, I had to almost literally stand on the clutch and brakes to get that thing to do what I want, and I weigh 180 lbs.
