HalleluYah!
I called this man about a tractor he'd been advertising, and he says it's a Massey Harris 49, I've looked online and it seems that the closest I could find was the 44, He said that the number 49 was on the back of the tractor (I think he said it was stamped on), I have not gotten to take a look at it due to the weather (8 inches may not seem like a lot to some of you more northern folks, but add WV's hills and backroads, and it makes it rather unpleasant fishtailing up a hill).
