Cleve Field Days circa 1978

Here is a rough home movie from 1978, there is some sound, but as with all 8mm cameras held by a dicky operator, the quality could be better. Features the Ford stand with shots of Onga Pumps, Steiger tractors and Versatile farm tractors and equipment. You can see a young Darryl Anesbury, Mark Goldsack and Wally Bencic in this film.

Old Tractor Movies

As a fresh faced kid of nineteen I joined the Ford Motor Company Tractor and Equipment  Division as a demonstrator. I had a lot of fun made a lot of friends and carved a career out of selling and servicing tractors and machinery.

Here is a clip from a day with farmers in Tasmania way back when. The tractor I was showing them was the new FORD 3000 6Y series 8 speed manual.

The film is damaged and grainy but the ground was steep and the drivers had more courage than me.
