There are missing production years in this list of 101, 102, Juniors,81's and 82's
Also the 203 models with the 330 Cont. engine

These missing production years have to be a result of many plants switching to building war products. I know for a fact that in many areas of the country they held lottery drawings for the few tractors dealers got. Many tractor mfg's did switch back to building farming equipment too, do to the demand for food not being raised in Europe
**** please make comments in a seprate post on this matter.
Thank you. Al

102 Junior Standard. (Some confusion here)

1939 385,001
1940 385,204
1941 385,450
1942 386,099
1943 386,662
1944 390,001
1945 390,994
1946 391,913


The confusion here is that my list does not show a 102 Junior standard but shows a 101 standard twice so I assume there was a misprint.

My list also has some comfusion here as there is no numbers for 1945 but goes from 44 to 47 skipping 45 & 46 I think this is a misprint also.

1945 shows no numbers for 1945 another misprint I believe.
Models changed in 1947 to the 44 –55 models, the war was winding down by this date.

1946 99,689
**1947 100,120 ** I am sure these were all model 55’s and the
numbers are a year off from 1944.

1944 425,757
1945 425,780

Again I am not sure about the skipped year Possiable Canadian plant switched to war production? Then production was moved to USA for model year 1944 ?????

The model 20
What and why the over lap between the 81 at the start and the 22 at the end of the production run???
This question has baffled Massey people for years.

Again please comment on this in a separate thread.
Thank you Al

***Starting with the 20 the serial numbers would start with the model of the tractor. for example 20 GR 1,001 was the first gas row crop built of the model 20

******A mid year change occurred here I believe. The serial numbers from here in both the Row Crop & Standard Gas are the same as the Kerosenes. Perplexing I must say, I'm going to check in on this to see if I can find some answers.
