Once upon a time, I, Lorne Radcliffe, purchased this tractor from Mary Rouse of Bradwardine. I had been alerted about the tractor, a Fordson Major diesel, by a friend and the rest is history. It was sitting in an abandoned farm yard and was quite visible from the road. Mrs. Rouse sold it to me with a verbal understanding that I would not resell it for a profit. 

The time has come for me to find a new owner as I can no longer look after it. It will be sold in our auction sale on July 11. If I can recover my expenses to date, such as new tires and assorted other items, I will donate any profit to Riverdale Rehab Facility, hoping that the money can be used to help furnish the new multi-purpose room. It is unfortunate that it has taken so much time to get this much-needed facility built and operating.
