Forged data plate ?

[Skylark4]

I can only call this a forged data plate. Unless someone can point me to a Massy-Harris 102 SS. Serial # doesn't jive with a 102 either. Serial #'s are to randomly placed and misaligned for factory going by the rest of my data plates.

I do t know about the model number, but the serial numbers placement looks pretty typical for that era Massey....

Is the same SN stamped along the top left of the trans case near the foot clutch?

Looks very similar to both my 101 Jr. stampings. Like Dieseltech says, compare it to the numbers on the top rail of the tranny. steve

Could you add a picture of where it should be. Can't find anything but casting #'s.

I don't have a picture, but look at the machined area of the main housing, just back of the transmission cover, along the left side (facing forward). Oh, he11, I'll take a picture for you:



This is a 101 Jr. RC, but the S#s are all stamped in the same place on these '40s era Masseys. It does appear the SN doesn't fit for a 102 Senior, Standard.

If you are still curious about the ID, ask Peter, at Tractor Data. He'll probably know the answer.

Amazing knowing what to look for. And yup, numbers match. Tho I take it that the SE stands for Standard Export?
