1951 Ferguson painted with Ferguson Gray stock #476 by Robert & Beverly Naber of Waco, Nebraska. The Old Work Horse was purchased new in Garland, Nebraska by Erwin Krieser, Beverly’s father. Beverly drove the Fergy as a young girl on the farm in Garland. After her father’s death in 1981, Beverly purchased the tractor from her mother. The Naber’s had always talked about restoring it to original condition. In the fall of ‘09, they hauled her home from the farm at Garland to Waco, Nebraska and started cleaning 59 years of grease and dirt from her. After a long winter of hard work they had a squeaky clean Fergy once again. Robert said the hardest part came when they tried to find the correct paint, nobody around Waco knew where to find it…
“Then enter Van Sickle Paint Co., problem solved,” said Robert.
“They always say a picture is worth a thousand words!” |
