How do y'all like our new bird house, it's a Massey Ferguson. Was fixin' to use this tractor the other day and noticed a wren flying in and out of the nose. I removed the grill and under the power steering cylinder was a nest complete with eggs. This is the 2nd time wrens have nested in the nose of this old tractor. Had they been building the nest, I would have went ahead and used the tractor and they could relocate, but seein' they got this far it'll just sit till they hatch and fly away.

Ive seen them bird nests burn a tractor down.
Actually that's the grill hangin' on a long all thread. I took it off to get a picture of the wren's nest. It's back in place now. The long all thread bolt is a modification on the front pivot pin to keep it in its' proper place. I have 2 different bumpers for this old tractor, one is the stock bumper and the other in a 6' long piece of railroad iron used mostly as added weight when we used this tractor to pull 4-16 inch bottom plows. Neither one is needed now so they are out by the barn.
