About M. S. Johnson Engineering 

M. S. Johnson Engineering was founded in 2008 by Martin Johnson as a restoration and repair service for agricultural machinery. Martin was born into a large local farming family that owned several farms in South Cambridgeshire. From a young age he also showed an interest in machinery and how it worked, taking engines apart from the age of eight and painting his grandfather's Alice Chalmers crawler by the time he was 11, going on to designing, modifying and building working farm machinery from the age of 12. 
From 1997 through to 1999 Martin attended agricultural college, where he studied agricultural machinery. In the year 2000, he went to the Case headquarters in Doncaster on an axial-flow combine course. In 2005, Martin spent the season in the United States of America repairing and maintaining a large fleet of combines, tractors and lorries for a harvest crew. In 2006-2007, he undertook product development work for a large English tractor and digger manufacturer. 
In 2008, Martin founded M. S. Johnson Engineering which carried out maintenance and repairs on local farmers' machinery, as well as restoration of machinery, tractors and steam engines. The company has also carried out conversions and the design and build of specialist machinery, and now has expanded into the sales and service of new farm machinery, having the sole distribution rights of TAFE tractors in its area.
