From publicly posted calendar Checked 21 hours ago
About this event
One of 19 upcoming events at Rock Island Library Southwest Branch.
Massey Ferguson Today’s three videos tell the story of Massy Ferguson, “the Company that fed the world.” A blacksmith’s crazy dream and a lucky coin toss ignited a farming revolution. From rusty workshops to roaring red tractors these machines saved harvests and fed billions worldwide. Enjoy captured historic footage of Henry Ford, Harry Ferguson, and antique video of the tractor brand at work. Finally, you will enjoy a 20-minute timelapse video showing a complete rebuild of a worn out 1949 Ferguson TO20 tractor originally given the 17-year-old owner in 2015 (his first tractor) when he was just 7 years of age! More upcoming programs in this series: Sept. 16, Oct. 7, Nov. 11, and Dec. 9.
