Historically any tractor built between 1939 and 1945 is a 'Wartime Tractor' here in Canada. Massey Harris was given special permission to build big Massey's to take the place of military taken off the farm overseas. The 201 Massey was one of the big 4 plough tractors built in 1940 and as most people know the 'Harvest Brigade' was started using Massey combines to custom harvest the grain starting early in the season in the deep south and slowly moving north later in the season to finish things up before the snow flew.
Once 2001 when I was in Minden Nebraska at the giant Wrap Ag.Museum I spoke to an elderly lady spinning wool. Her husband participated in the 'Brigade' and was still doing custom work across the country today more than 50 years later.
