Massey Harris 55 tag decoding needed

Dennis Moore · Sep 27, 2012

I just got a MH 55 and am finding conflicting info on what it is. The Tag reads 55-GSH 1149. Thanks for any info. Dennis

Hi Dennis, You have a 1947 model.The G stands for
gas, The S for standard. The H is not mentioned
in my manual, but poss in yours on one of the lst
pages. Chuck

The H may be High Altitude Gas engine. The H is used on some serial numbers for HAG engine.

Does it have a hand clutch?

Dennis Moore · Sep 28, 2012

Yes it has a hand clutch. It has been changed to lp gas so I
will have to find a hood fuel tank and carb for it
