A.P. is absolutely correct. Ironically, since they made less Massey 98s than Super 99s it's less likely you will find Massey 98 fenders than Super 99 fenders.

The Massey 98 was built on contract from Oliver. It is an Oliver 990 except for a different hood and grill. The hood and grills from a Super 99 are not the same as those used on a Massey 98. The fenders on a Massey 98 were the same as the later style 990 fenders. The outside edge curled back down. These fenders were never used on a Super 99. The Super 99 fenders flaired out but did not start to curl back in towards the tire on the outside edge. The fenders from a Massey 98 will work on a Super 99 but will not be correct if you are trying for an accurate restoration.

The Massey 98 is actually an Oliver 990 GM in Massey colors and sheet metal. The Oliver 990 replaced the Super 99 GM in 1958.

The 990 has a squared grill. the Super 99GM has a round grill like the 98 Massey.

From "The Proud Heritage of Agco Tractors" by Norm Swinford... (excellent book by the way)

"The MF 98 of 1958-1962 was an Oliver 99GM with red sheet metal. The two-stroker developed over 78 horsepower."

From a comparison of pictures, it appears that the fenders may be the same.
