You sure he didn't kill himself Brutus? With a name like Wankel the jokes are endless! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go wankel while I spankel.

Au toe moe beel? what in the sam hells is that?

 

Henry Ford did not create the automobile, he was the first to use the assembly line in the manufacture of automobiles, Gottlieb Daimler produced the first viable internal combustion engine driven automobile in the 1800's.

And in other news, there is this new-fangled "diesel"-type of gasoline showing up at my local gas station.
























And yes, I know diesel isnt a type of gasoline

I'd guess that would be the "Ferguson" of Massy-Ferguson. One of the old farmer's I worked for as a teen had a vintage MF ... old like hand-crank to start old (watch where you put that thumb!). And yes, it did have a 3pt hitch, which I think was somewhat unusual for equipment of that vintage. I think they went out of business in the early 70's

Massey-Fergusson is now a subsidiary of Agco, which also owns White and Allis Chalmers.
