Pete’s Pick of the Week: The Black Massey Ferguson 860 Combine

Anyone out there know where it is?

Who cares about “Where’s Waldo?” I’m trying to locate the one and only black Massey Ferguson 860 combine made back in the early 1980s as a promotional item and displayed at the Farm Progress Show in Iowa... in 1982, I think. I made a post to our Machinery Pete Facebook page Sunday night looking for help, and 19,000 folks viewed the post in 2 hours. The Massey-Harris Collectors Club fan page even joined in the hunt for this one-of-a-kind Massey combine.

Anyone out there know where it is?
