Massey Ferguson 165 Hi-Hi Tractor This Massey Ferguson 165 Hi-Hi tractor is owned by Dave & Violet Helman of Sidney, Ohio.

Dave explains that it was indeed called a Hi-Hi tractor. There were 14 built in 1967 and all were

shipped to Jamaica. All the tractors had Perkins 4-212 engines, no multipower, no dual hydraulics,

and a six speed transmission. Dave purchased the tractor at a consignment auction in Central Ohio

about 10 years ago. How it got there is anybody’s guess, Thanks Dave and Violet for the picture and

Power of the Past

Antique Engine &

Tractor Show

Plan now to attend the

twenty-sixth annual Power of the

Past Antique Engine & Tractor

Show, September 11, 12, 13, 2020.

Ottawa, home of Warner Manufac-

turing and Union Foundry, is a per-

fect site to see the gas and horse-

powered farm implements of the

past.

This show is much more

than a gathering of gas engine and

tractor enthusiasts, although those

are pretty amazing when all the en-

gines are chugging at once! With

the passage of time, many of our

younger generation have never seen

or experienced farm life in its hey-

day. We’re creating a learning

experience from this event, where

the future meets the past.

We say to senior citizens in

our community, come out and see

the farm equipment of your youth.

To the younger generation we say,

observe an experience of a “pre-

computer” age. Everyone should

see the Power of the Past!
