1949 Massey-Harris Pony Tractor

This 1949 Massey-Harris Pony tractor is said to have been refurbished prior to the seller’s acquisition in 2023 and is powered by a 62ci inline-four gasoline engine paired with a three-speed manual transmission. The tractor is finished in red with yellow wheels, and equipment includes headlights, a rear work light, rear half fenders, a draw bar, a flat pulley, and a rear power take-off. This Massey-Harris Pony tractor is offered at no reserve in Birch Tree, Missouri, with manufacturer’s literature and a bill of sale.

Massey-Harris produced the Pony tractor in Canada from 1947 to 1957, and in 1958 the company was renamed Massey-Ferguson. The body and chassis of this example were refinished in red under prior ownership, and features include headlights, a rear work light, intake and exhaust stacks, rear half fenders, and Massey-Harris badges.

Yellow-painted steel wheels are accented by red hubs and wear 5.00-16 Carlisle tires up front and 8.3-24 Delta Super Cleat tires out back. Stopping power is handled by band-style rear brakes.

The steel operator’s seat is finished in red and mounted on a flat spring. Controls include a throttle, a shifter, a PTO lever, and brake pedals.

A black three-spoke steering wheel sits above of an instrument panel that houses headlight and choke controls, a keyed ignition switch, an ammeter, and an oil pressure gauge. The tractor is not equipped with an hour meter, and total operating hours are unknown.

The 62ci inline-four gasoline engine was factory rated at 10 horsepower, which is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed manual transmission. The seller notes oil leaks.

The tractor is equipped with a rear power take-off, a flat pulley, a draw bar, and a ball hitch.

Manufacturer’s literature is included along with a shop manual and paint material receipts.
