Iv got an 200 farmall I picked up for junk price and I'm thinking about trying to trade him the 200 for it. I know it not an allis but there not many around here and I thought it be neat to own one once anyway.

Does it have a starter to go with that hand crank? I wouldn't trade the 200 for it if I had to hand crank it.

Looks to be a Massey 30. Has electric start as shown in 2nd pic. It has the 162 cu. in. Continental engine and was produced from 1947 to '53. Should have a 5 speed transmission. That one has added hydraulics and three point. Does it run?
They are a nice little tractor.

It dosent run the guy that has it doesn't know anything about it. He has never had it running. That 200 I have been trying to sell it with no luck , old tractors have really dropped off around here. So I figured I'd I'm not going to make money might as well have something interesting lol. That 200 looks about the same as that massey dose but it dose run. I'm just not interested in it enough to spend any money on it l.

Then I say go for it the 200 is pretty common. It would be nice to have something less common. Alot of the parts will be available from any Tisco supply house I have seen them listed at stiners but have never actually looked to see what parts are there.

Is that 3pt hitch factory or homemade. It looks too good to be homemade to me.

definitely a Massey 30. They are a nice little tractor. Parts are easy to get. There is some on ebay and there is a ton of those little f162 continental engines in the world so you can get almost any part new. I have one and its one of my favorites. They shift, start, steer easy. have a rather comfortable seat and decent power. The 3 point looks home made.

That is a 1950 by the serial number.
They are a nice little tractor. My grandson is just finishing his 1945 102 Jr. which is an earlier version of the same tractor.
I have had several of the early Massey tractors and always liked them.

Either that three point is a some uncommon factory option or a customized refit from something else or is very well done DIY fabrication job.
I'd put my money on it being one of the first two before the last.

If someone gave me an old MH or Wallis, I'd probably keep it. If they gave me an old green one, not so much.
