Some old postings about early 50s Massey-Harris conversions being relatively easy. Massey had seperate frame- engine was not a stressed member, just sat in frame. Tranny was on some a Chevy/GM truck transmission with a short shaft to rear end. Massey used the seperate frame and could use Continental 4 engine or a Chrysler 6 engine in same basic frame- models?? 44 and 101? Oliver another possible?- somewhat same frame pattern, engine not stressed member with front end attached to engine. Farmal F20 also possble but brakes and controls are not as modern- seperate frame from rear end to front wheels is the workable advantage. Is a winter project when snowed in and wife says get out of house until ground dries to get in field. Engine cam changed to LP cam or reground similar for low end torque, belt drive governor for about 1800 to 2200 RPM for practical HP 75? 283 engine? 327? RN.
