Well I'm lacking out and getting a super deal on a MH 33 or so I was told. He said it was a 1949 but after reading some that model wasn't made in 49. I'm thinking it may have the year messed up but it still has the number plate on the right side with the serial numbers and stuff that should be easy enough time figure out once I have it.
Is there anything I should be looking at that is common to be bad with these Massy's? About 29 years ago he said he spun a crank bearing so brought it in and has the entire motor rebuilt including align honing and decking the head surface. 2 weeks ago when I was there and seen it for the first time it fired up immediately after sitting for 6 months so I know it runs good. Had the hydraulic lift but the pto is higher the the top link mount. Is there any way to mount a 3pt brush hog or post hold let digger to this without having to find that special top link with the large ring in it? Could I fab a bracket that would just raise the top link up over the pto and get a lon get top link? If anyone has any pics of what they did to make it work it would be appreciated. Also is there any place that one can still get that style top link with the ring to keep it original?
Also it's a gas model with three narrow dual Tire front end. Not sure if it has a hand clutch or not yet. Will get some pictures of it tomorrow and post them here for anyone who cares to check them out. I know I'm excited as this will be my 3rd tractor. Already have a 42 AC model C and a 59 Ford 881 Powermaster but this is my first massey.
Thanks in advance and any and all help is greatly appreciated.
