    MH 44KR Serial Number Question

    I was looking for the serial number of my Massey Harris 44KR tractor (1948), and found the frame ID tag stamped with KR 1638. The numbers stamped on the transmission cover on top, are KR 1642. What gives? Do I have 2 different tractors? Thanks.

    Anybody know where I can get my lift cylinder for my 1948 44K RC refurbished, or would it be better to replace with a new unit? It has been sitting for about 28 years inside and I'm not sure it won't leak. Thanks. Vinnie L. Alabama Roll Tide!!

    Excessive Steering Wobble at Speed

    I just had an old boy say that it looks like I may have to replace the worm gear (and steering shaft) and sector with new. He says that they are replaced as a set. I don't know where and/or if these things are still available new. Probably very expensive. Good luck Dalex. Vinnie L.
