    Massey Harris 555 Value

    I know this is late, but do you happen to live at Otty Lake? I've seen one there on trips to my uncle's cottage.

    Massey 44 oil pump

    That is the same diagram that I&T has. I have a pump that was locked up that I tried to get apart a few years back that I smooshed teeth off of with a puller. Never did get the gear off. Not much room between the gear and pump body.

    Massey 44 oil pump

    After digging the dirt away, I can see the snap ring inside of the pump gear. So it appears that the drive gear must come off first- and it is ON there!! Thinking of throwing it in the deep freeze and then heating the gear with a torch while I have a puller on it.

    Massey 44 oil pump

    I got the bottom gear right out. I see the snap ring in my I&T, but no sign of it on the shaft.

    Massey 44 oil pump

    Has anyone here ever rebuilt an oil pump on a 44 (or 55). I have the pieces to do so, but can't figure out how to get the gears off of the shaft.

    Massey 44 without head gasket

    With a head gasket, it should be about 10.5:1. Without about 11.1:1

    Massey 44 without head gasket

    I've been running this head for years with a head gasket without any issues. Going from 4" to 4.29" bore. For a Continental head it flows well, but I may have to give up some compression in order to continue using it.

    Massey 44 without head gasket

    I intend to deck the block with the sleeves installed and have only the fire rings protruding, and run water in the normal way. Mel is a friend and lives close by- that's where the idea originated from. The only concern I really have is that my head has had .310" removed from the deck, leaving...

    Massey 44 without head gasket

    I am considering building a 44 without a head gasket. To those who have done it, what would be a minimum deck thickness to have to ensure that the copper fire ring does not crack the head when it is torqued.

    Mid-Atlantic Super Pull

    I went to the Mid-Atlantic Super Pull in Harrisburg, PA yesterday and was impressed by the show that Brad Peters and crew put on. Although I was only there as a spectator this time, I really hope to be able to play next year! Thanks to Ron Brokaw for taking time to talk to me and answer my...

    Anyone Running E-85 In Their Puller?

    Yes, I have. It will not last long once it is pumped from a sealed container, so you can't leave it in your tank from week to week. "Pump" E85 varies widely in quality and I would only recommend using product from a race fuel manufacturer for consistency. You will most likely have to enlarge...

    Awesome! I'd rather see one working than on the show-only circuit any day.

    farmall 350

    I have never seen a 175" 350 make more than 45 hp even with Volbracht domed pistons unless you do head and cam work as well. Then the possibilities go up considerably.

    MH44 Cam

    The groove you see should have a small retaining ring in it to keep the engine from swallowing a valve should the keepers fail. Stock cam lift is in the .240"-.250" range and duration is @180 degrees. You probably will need different valve springs to prevent coil bind if you want to go over...

    444

    I recently worked on a Farmall 400 for a man who bought it in a sad, non-running condition for $1,500. I would consider them to be about equal in value. The live pto in a 400 is an advantage, but the t/a is not in my opinion.
