Balmoral Show 2010
















The Reborn Tractor featured as pride of place at this year's Balmoral Agricultural Show in Belfast.
Visitors flocked to touch and rub the body work as if the Massey Ferguson was alive.
It was fun standing silently in the crowd and listening to the 'experts'

Our first outing with the restored MF135 was on a bright Spring morning. Interest in the Reborn Tractor DVD is coming from USA, Australia, New Zealand and other far flung places.
Great to hear there are so many tractor enthusiasts all over the world.

Ulster Television Features Reborn Tractor

Northern Ireland's UTV interviewed Stephen Todd the creator of Reborn Tractor for a feature on the classic tractor scene. It was apparent that the presenter Marc (A sophisticated city type) was quite taken after he had a drive on our restored MF135

Perhaps he will get bitten by the tractor bug?

Massey Ferguson 135 Restoration tips
















During the MF135 restoration filming we picked up some really useful hints and tips from engineers. Most of these can be seen in the double DVD set but it might be of interest to potential restorers to have these written down. Anybody interested?

Drop us an email if you think this is a good idea.

Massey Ferguson 135 Restoration

Feedback from people who have already bought the Reborn Tractor MF135 restoration DVD has been very positive. The programme shows the entire process from barn find, assessment, stripping, finding parts and re-building. The key idea is to give potential restorers a usuful resource which they can watch during the different stages of their own restoration.

Massey Ferguson 135 Restoration DVD is selling really well

After a few technical hiccups at launch last week (Especially with countries outside the UK) things have been tweeked. I also placed the DVD on Amazon which helped people get a copy before Christmas.

The local post office was surprised to see box after box of DVD envelopes arriving in a flurry.
Jersey, North Wales and County Kerry all seem to have a large number of avid tractor enthusiasts as the Reborn Tractor DVD went to those locations en masse.
