i have many masseys and have heard of tractors with the twin power, being able to run the engines at higher speeds, Would my 30, and 22 have this? once it is wide open if you lift up on the throttle you can pull it back more and it runs faster, does this harm the engine? when should i use it, When shouldnt i use it? thanks!

The first massey tractors that I know of that had the twin power were the pacemakers and the challengers. The twin power option was developed for belt work only, as they did not want the extra power and speed going through the rearend on those tractors. Why they had it blocked off I have heard speculation as to safety reasons.

That's interesting Ryan. On my 101 Juniors, the twin power feature kicks in when the transmission shift lever is placed into the "B" (belt) position and also when you put the tractor into 4th (road) gear. Maybe by that time they weren't so concerned.

Could be, I should have qualified that better by saying that was true on the pacemakers and the challengers, both tractors could have had steel, I am not that familiar with the later tractors.

You have the twin-power feature if there is a long control linkage rod between the front-right of the transmission (where the shifting rails support casting sits) to the governor. On the side of this support casting should be a small cast lever that hooks to this long rod. When you shift your tractor into the high gear position or into the B (belt) position, this lever on the side of that support casting activates the attatched linkage rod which then activates the governor up front to bypass the normal governor setting on engine speed control Hence, it sort of "overides" the regular control of the governor for roadspeed or beltwork. I have two 101 Juniors which were twin power but only one had the linkage there when I bought it. On the one that did have it, I never did reinstall it since I don't use the tractor for that stuff and I found that the linkage rod just sort of got in the way too much. My decals still say "Twin-Power" though.

The twin power was just two different engine speeds that helped in selling the tractors.The idea was that the low speed was used for field work and the high speed used for belt work.A lot of people used the higher speed for both drawbar work as well as on the belt.If you run the engine at the slower speed it will pro-long the life of your engine.The higher speed will not hurt the engine.
