Just wondering, is there a difference between the Massey Harris 101 (6-cylinder Chrysler) and the 101 Super? Or was there even a model simply designated as the 101? I know the 101/102 Senior series had the Continental engine but I'm wondering about those tractors with the Chrysler engine. Was the original 101 just called the 101 without the Super part added to the name? And did all of them have the big, full, louvered sidepanels that everyone seems to be looking for? Maybe someone here can clarify the difference (if there is a difference).

The super designation was added in 1939. The bore in the engine was enlargened in late 1940. Thus the earlier 101 supers have the same bore as the 101. The difference is the super finished cylinder walls that were a chrysler selling feature. The I&T shop manual incorrectly differentiates the two tractors by engine bore as MH manuals did not refer to the tractor as 101 Super untill after the bore change. The 1938 101s have a hood badge and standard tractors have only a single brake pedal whereas 101 Supers have dual pedals. I have 3 of these tractors, one from each year 1938, 1939 and 1940.All are standards.

Yes, Mike there was a 101 and a 101 Super. The 101 used a 201 cubic inch eng. while the Super used a 217 cubic inch eng. I don't have the sn. right in front of me but I "think" the change came about in 1940 or '41. Both had the eng side sheilds with the 101 Senior changing to the rounded half shields. Also the early 101's (1938) had the left and right brake on the respective side. Many have been updated to both brakes on the right side, such is my '38, but the holes are still in the floor boards.

Hope this helps!

Roger
