Massey Ferguson Men and Women

I am writing a biography on one of the giants of our Australian agricultural machinery industry and have found a wonderful pictorial collection of the people and places Massey Ferguson operated in the late 1950's through to their plant closures during the 1980's. For anyone interested in the history of the factory take a few minutes to check it out.

In this link, it shows a very young Ian O'rourke who was part of the harvester test team for the MF 585. The photo shows him operating a self propelled unit: https://collections.museumvictoria.com.au/items/1476906
