To follow along with the "missing piston" stories.

My cousin bought a Massey 44 that was sitting in a field but would run. He finished the deal and showed up the next day to pick up the tractor. The old guy came out of the house and handed him a piston. Told my cousin it was #4 piston and that we would need it if he wanted to fix the tractor. My cousin quite confused asked for explanation. Seems the rod broke or something and sinse they were old and had no money the simply removed the piston. Used the tractor for a few years that way. The old boy said "she ran a little rough and didn't have the power she used to, but she still run."

Cousin started the tractor, drove it on the trailer and brought it home.

Ended up swappin the engine for another rather than rebuilding.
