HalleluYah!
I called this man about a tractor he'd been advertising, and he says it's a Massey Harris 49, I've looked online and it seems that the closest I could find was the 44, He said that the number 49 was on the back of the tractor (I think he said it was stamped on), I have not gotten to take a look at it due to the weather (8 inches may not seem like a lot to some of you more northern folks, but add WV's hills and backroads, and it makes it rather unpleasant fishtailing up a hill). So here is all I know about it. It's a 4-cyl, 6v, pto, 3-point, narrow front end, "new" (meaning fairly good) rear tires, engine runs good, he also said that the sheet metal and the electrical system needed work.

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
