I live in Waynesboro. Frick is still there but is now owned by Johnson Controls. Waynesboro is unique in that it was home to two farm equipment manufacturers. The other was Geiser Mfg. They made the Peerless line of steam engines. They've been gone a long time though.
Very interesting tractor: engine and radiator both at right angles to the norm! Never seen here in the UK. Nice slow-revving engine. Handsome machine of great character and obvious high quality. Are there any any other survivors?
444s ate a great tractor I inherited the Massey 44 my grandfather bought in 1958. Ots 71 years old and still working. M&W overbore high compression kit, Duals, wide front and a buzz saw. Also have a 1952 Massey 55 Diesel.
Re the bolt slots to keep the belt on the pulley. Did they not know that if the pulley was slightly convex (bigger diameter in the middle) the belt would "steer" itself centered?
"Thrashing is belt work". I know the feeling. I got some good thrashings with the belt when I was a kid.
KJ yup, I can relate.
That's nothing, those things were a dime a dozen back then.
Inflation sure has increased the value of a good spankin...
That’s a nice Fricking Tractor.
LOL
😂
Low hanging fruit my friend

I love going to Rough and Tumble.
I like the sound of the Frick running...deep throated👍👍 kind of reminds me of my MH 444 underload.

How many cylinders in the engine? It sounds like an old John Deere.
Just saying I am a part of the Frick family
Great color scheme.
Living in the mid Atlantic I am familiar with the Frick. BTW, it’s pronounce Lan’ caster County/City. Accent on the first syllable. It’s a PA thing!
It's pronounced Lankister county
You getting fricked by The Frick :)
I live pretty close to the frick company
Der frick traktor, hat er ein getriebe? Oder nur einen gang vorwärts, einen gang rückwärts? Lg.ff.
Is there a tractor with the brand name Heck?
Heck l don't know...
@@reddirtfarm7704 that's not heck tho...

akallio9000 go back and look at that pulley again. You can see just that👍 First thing I noticed about the pulley, and wondered why? Now I know,
@@melloreel that pulley *is* crowned. Frick had been making sawmills and engines since steam ruled.
What the Frick? a Squirrel?
Looks like a Hoyt Clagwell
Donald Mccauley I would buy a “Hoyt Clagwell” in a minute😂😂
Melloreel in a heartbeat if it came with Lisa.
Guys come on quit swearing my mom watches me sometimes
chasebh89 Frick and Frack will be right back.😁
@Mr Sunshines r/wooooooosh
@Mr Sunshines no I'm saying the joke flew over your head you Boomer
What model was this? Frick A? I have heard JD and IH owners call their tractors something like that in the past...
15-28 is the model. Not all tractors had letters for their model designations.
Most farmers didn't want anything to do with Frick'nBeavers.
Pucka pucka pucka pucka pucka pucka pucka pucka pucka pucka.
Frick, Massey Harris, Bull and others all used the same design
What the frick? Where did that phrase come from? Darn fricken tractor broke again. Throw that fricken thing away. Awww frick it...
Dedra Kuhn I was thinking that same thing! I was waiting on him to say “these FRICKEN things won’t stay running” and that’s how the term came about🤔
@@melloreel that's a Good One. You gave me a great laugh. Thanks
It came from Frick in french fries per Saturday Night Live
@@Colt-tf6xf I think that "the fricken tractor" came before Saturday night live
Dedra Kuhn the joke was, " There ain't no Frick in french fries."
What the frick is that?
I don’t give a Frick
