  Kathy asked me if I would write a short article about the Friends of Massey Club that we are hosting at our 2006 show so that you might understand who they are and what they are about.  The 150th anniversary of Massey Harris was cel-ebrated in 1997 and at that time Don Snyder, a Massey Ferguson dealer and collector of Massey Harris tractors, made an all out effort to gather 150 Massey Harris trac-tors at the show held at the Hughesville fair grounds. This would have been easier for product lines such as John Deere, IH, AC or any of the ones that had estab-lished collector clubs to communicate through, but Massey Harris had no such club. It was during this show that talk among people began about forming such a club. The following year Massey Harris was featured at the Nittney Antique Machinery Show at Centre Hall and a number of the same people took up a collection for seed money for a lawyer and such to get a club incorpo-rated. Once again, thanks to Don Snyder’s hard work along with the work of others, ‘Friends of Massey’ was born. Friends of Massey has the purpose of helping to promote the collection and preservation of Massey Har-ris equipment along with related and associated brands. The social side of the club, bringing together and making new friends from all over the state, country, and world 

is a very large part of what the club does also. There are currently 503 members from 30 states, Canada, Eng-land, and Wales, UK.  Each year Friends of Massey picks one show from shows that are featuring Massey Harris to make their main effort to gather as many of their members as they can. Most of the time these shows ask to be considered as a host show for the Friends of Massey gathering but in our case we were approached by Friends of Massey and asked if we would consider featuring Massey Harris and hosting them. When we featured Massey Harris in 1998, before Friends of Massey was truly under way, some of the people that are now directors of that club were to our show and enjoyed themselves so much that they wanted to come back. We should be proud of this and do every-thing that we can to show them that it was not a mistake to want to come back.  2006 is considered to be the ninth annual show for Friends of Massey. They have met once in New York State, three times in Maryland, and this year will make five times in Pennsylvania.  Anyone wishing to join Friends of Massey or having any questions about Massey Harris, Ferguson, or Wal-lis should be sure to stop in at the feature tent and there will be people there who would be happy to help them.        Dave Edder

HollabaugH Family tHResHing

9May 2006

  At  the  Club  meeting  in  February,  the  conversations drifted occasionally to threshing or “thrashing”, if you are a dyed-in-the-wool purist. To add a bit of color, let’s call it “old-time thrashing.”  As much as  I don’t usually  think of myself  as  an old timer, I guess I’m getting there, being on this friendly side of 70. But putting this all  in the perspective of  lifetime experiences, I can say that I have been involved in thresh-ing back when threshing was still a fairly common sight on farms in our area of Cambria County, Pennsylvania. This would have been in the late 1940’s to early 1950’s. I remember, upon hearing a tractor coming up the long hill past our farm, I would run out and stand by the road and  watch  ’til  it  had  gone  out  of  sight.  I  could  almost always tell whether the tractor was pulling a thresher or not, from the hard-working snarl out the exhaust. I also knew if the tractor did not shift down from road gear at the bottom of  the hill,  the thresher had steel wheels on it. If it did shift down, the thresher had rubber tires. As I watched the machines go by, I would dream of the day I could work with one.  When I was about 12 or 13, my chance finally came! We had planted a very large field of barley, and when har-vest time rolled around, the field was heavily infested with ragweed  and  other  varieties  of  non-barley.  At  this  time we had an Allis-Chalmers All-Crop 60 combine, but for 

a tHResHeRman RemembeRs    by Herb Jankovich

some  reason  my  Dad  decided  to  cut  the  barley  with  a binder and shock it up in the field to dry, believing the weed/seeds would also dry out and easily  separate  from the grain. About now, I imagine the reader of this piece; can start  to see the  long, dark shadow of a mighty Mc-Cormick-Deering  thresher on  the horizon. Wagon  load after wagon load of barley sheaves being forked into the hungry maw of that machine, the straw coming out the stack, building  a pile  of  straw,  to be baled  later, Right? WRONG!  Dad  got  the  neighbor’s  thresher  and  backed  it  into OUR BARN! We got  it all  set up, with the straw stack properly aimed into the straw mow. Then we started. My job was to tend the bagger, and also empty the weed seed bags. Now  the wagon  load  after wagon  load of  sheaves became reality. Also becoming  reality was  that  the  little kid’s dream of the glamorous operation of a thresher was indeed not too much fun. Worse yet, threshing in a barn, on a couple of hot, sultry days, produced one of the most miserable dusty, dirty and itchy memories this young lad would carry all his life. I did “thrash” again the following year, but this time it was oats and outside, like you’re sup-posed to… I THINK!  On  a  more  gentle  note,  I’d  like  to  say  that  my  Dad enabled me to experience more good things in life than I could have ever imagined. And I miss him terrible.
