Help! My Massey Harris model #81S built in 1946 needs some help. I have used Hercules to plow the snow from my 600 foot driveway for the last ten years with no problems except he doesn t like to start when it s double digits below zero, censius . Yesterday he tried to start on the first turn over but sputtered to a stop. When I tried a second time, the starting motor made that whirring sound but would not engage. I gently rocked the engine back and forth while in neutral using a cooling fan blade and tried again with no luck. I have tried to remove the starting motor however, something inside the bell housing seems to be stopping me from removing the starter so that I can examine it more closely. My mechanic warned me to be careful or I could end up with a real mess. Any suggestions would be appreciated; there s a big snow storm coming on Thursday. Oh, we are way up here in Northern Ontario, Canada. Bill McKenna

in these forums i see on a regular basis the question of engine color. i cannot remember the paint codes off the top of my head. the rims were painted straw yellow. the tractor itself is red. the engine was painted red except on wartime models. these were painted black. the war times models would run from 1941 to 1945.

Looking at the picture I figure I have a Massey Harris 81. I bought it 10 years ago and it served me well plowing snow and skidding/lifting logs for a log cabin we built. It has a loader with it and good rubber. She is getting tired and needs a motor rebuild but still runs. I would like to sell it and am open to offers. I am located in Northern MN and can be reached by e-mail.

Quel type de tracteur Massey-Harris était-il exporté en France en 1945? Je suis journaliste et je prépare un article sur les premiers tracteurs de l'après-guerre. On m'a parlé d'un tracteur de 25 CV, à soupapes latérales, sans culbuteur, de 2,7 l. de cylindrée... Il valait avec sa charrue 124.500 F français de 1945. Merci de me répondre.

The wheels on this one are the wrong color yellow. The ones on this tractor appear to have been painted with John Deere yellow. The original MH color is lighter like the wheels on the MH 44. The engine was probably red I have never seen an MH with a black engine.
