So i have one of those 3 cylnder massey gas engines I think a 152. At some point Massey took some of their 3 cylinder diesel's and
converted them to gas from the factory ..I have one and someone put Pertronis in it and its junk ..so I want to find the original distrutor
points plate that they removed when they put the pertronics in it and get a set of points / condenser for it .does anyone have any thing

What tractor is this in? If it is a 3 cylinder 152 it is a Perkins engine, not a Massey Ferguson built engine. Perkins built them in diesel and gasoline versions and Massey Ferguson used both. The gas engine is an AG3.152. Do you have the Delco Remy number off the distributor? If it is from a MF135 or 150, according to the parts book, the Massey Ferguson distributor part number was 521189M91 (the Delco distributor number was 1112457). The MF135 parts book shows the breaker plate part number as 1033801M91. A shop that rebuilds starters, generator, etc., may have a parts breakdown for the Delco distributor and might be able to get a breaker plate. This sites store and many other sites have the distributors. Try salvage yards near you, but I expect you will have to buy a complete distributor. Perhaps someone will be along with another source.
 
Yes its a Perkins 152 gas motor. He has a Delco remy that someone put pertronics in it and is not working . So my electrical rebuilder
will look up that delco number and see if he can find it . great information thanks ...
 
Massey Ferguson bought Perkins in 1959 and maintained the Perkins name for marketing purposes. So any Perkins engines built after the buyout were bought from Massey.

True, Massey bought Perkins and they maintained the engine business under the Perkins name while they owned it, as the engines were used in many other applications by other manufacturers. When you look at the engines in MF tractors even their parts books call them Perkins engines. So you bought a Perkins AG3.152 engine, not a Massey Ferguson AG3.152 engine. Likewise you find parts for them as Perkins engines, not Massey Ferguson. Perkins has been sold a couple times since then. Caterpillar is the current owner of the Perkins engine brand and the engines are called Perkins and you get parts for Perkins engines, not Caterpillar engines now, even though you buy them from CAT.
