Apparently, yes. I saw a puller's M-H 33 with the
382 gas engine under the hood. The bellhousing
was awkward in size, he had to add an extra set
of joints to the steering shaft. The radiator had
retro work, as it was taller. From that, I would
not use a 33, unless a puller,concerned about
weight. A more compatible union, would be a 44
Special, with the 382 engine. The u-frame is 3/8"
thicker than a 44, plus the unique hydraulic
manifold, improved operator's station, and five
speed would make for an interesting project,
when not restoring classic Massey-Harris's to
authentic,original retail.I've pondered doing it,
even have the Special tranny case with 'Hitch-All', just don't get back to it. A strong 382 in
a rough 55, would help to motivate, but I don't
have the healthy 382 to button it all together.
Ed, you're welcome to carry out the mission, as
you raised the question. My advice is free.
