Kenny; I was all ready to reply to your E-mail and this thing froze up, so I have no idea where my message to you went. You sound like you've got a real find there. I assume the engine is a Chrysler 230, so it should be fairly straightforward to do. I'd say put the new engine in it, shine it up and see what people think of it. If you've got the side sheets for the engine, and the tinwork is good, you're smiling. One tractor calls the 101 Super the 'most collectible' of all the 'real' Masseys. Apparently the side sheets got yanked most of the time because they badly restricted the cooling capacity of the engine. There were also complaints that these Chrysler engines were tough on gas and had poor torque characteristics. The Nebraska tests show that these engines were as good as any for economy and Massey used that same engine in combines for the next twenty years. So they must have proven themselves. One comment I also heard was that the crankcase capacity is low for the power capabilities and it pays very well to make frequent oil changes using good quality lubricants if it's working. It's value? Hm. The tractor presently with accompanying parts would fascinate a collector/fixer and they would probably try to lowball you. $1500 rock bottom at gunpoint. Of course I have no idea what you've got in it. New engine in it running well, straight tin with side sheets, nice paint, interested buyer , I should think you might go on the high side of $4500. Up here the only guys that had a tractor that big were either threshermen or sawmill operators. Lots of 101 Juniors, not that many Seniors and 201's were a rare bird indeed. Like to hear how you get on with it, and I will get a lesson from the kids on doing a proper E-mail. Regards. Tom.
