Little Grey Fergie Saves the Day

The little Grey Fergie was one of the most popular tractors in Australia in the 50’s & 60’s. That tractor actually wrote itself into Australian folklore, when local farmers gathered with their tractors during the 1956 floods in the Murray-Dowling river town of Wentworth NWS to save the town. Those little tractors worked around the clock patching levee banks and saved that town from disaster. They appreciated the little grey fergie so much for that effort, the town erected a monument to it, which still stands today.
