Lot #103 - The Massey-Harris Model 30 was a two/three-plow tractor built from 1947 to 1953. It replaced the model 101 Junior as part of the new line of Massey-Harris tractors introduced for the Massey-Harris Company's 100th anniversary. The Model 30 was a new design, although it had the same Continental engine and Twin-Power feature as the Model 101. The engine was a heavy-duty, industrial, L-head, 162ci, 4-cylinder engine that utilized gasoline and produced 26.24hp at the drawbar and 34.18hp at the belt pulley. This engine operated at regular speed of 1,500 rpm, with a faster speed of 1,800 rpm speed available for belt work and road gear. The Model 30 could be purchased with a distillate engine. The color of the engine was changed from black to red in 1948. It was a popular tractor and sold well. Standard equipment included a 5-speed transmission, a starter and generator, a Velvet-Ride seat, fenders and a muffler. Options included a hydraulic lift, a PTO, lights, a single front wheel, a high-arch adjustable wide front axle and extra-long axles to achieve a 112" wide tread, an hour meter, a belt pulley, rear-wheel weights and front wheel weights. This example has had an extensive cosmetic and minor mechanical restoration. It features all-new tires, gauges, wiring harness and electrical components. It also has new engine valves, a rebuilt generator and carburetor with factory front grille screen.
