Massey Harris Serial Number

[farmallboy1994]

I just bought my first Massey today and had a question on the serial number. The first part of it says 44-OR. i was wondering what model I had.

I believe the 44-OR is a Model 44 Orchard. They were built from 1950 thru 1953. The serial numbers are as follows:

1950- starts at 1001
1951- starts at 1101
1952- starts at 40001
1953- starts at 43700
I believe the orchard model has rear fenders that cover the top (circumference) of the rear wheels.
I hope this helps.
