The Massey-Harris Model 30 was a two/three-plow tractor built from 1947 to 1953. It replaced the model 101 Junior as part of the new line of Massey-Harris tractors introduced for the Massey-Harris Company's 100th anniversary. The Model 30 was a new design, although it had the same Continental engine and Twin-Power feature as the Model 101. The engine was a heavy-duty, industrial, L-head, 162ci, 4-cylinder engine that utilized gasoline and produced 26.24hp at the drawbar and 34.18hp at the belt

The color of the engine was changed from black to red in 1948. It was a popular tractor and sold well. Standard equipment included a 5-speed transmission, a starter and generator, a Velvet-Ride seat, fenders and a muffler. Options included a hydraulic lift, a PTO, lights, a single front wheel, a high-arch adjustable wide front axle and extra-long axles to achieve a 112' wide tread, an hour meter, a belt pulley, rear-wheel weights and front wheel weights. This example has had an extensive cosmetic and minor mechanical restoration. It features all-new tires, gauges, wiring harness and electrical components. It also has new engine valves, a rebuilt generator and carburetor with factory front grille screen. **SOLD ON BILL OF SALE ONLY**
