Massey-Harris Super 101 Twin Power Tractor - Manitoba Agricultural Museum - Austin Manitoba Canada
The Massey Harris Super 101 Twin Power was photographed at the Manitoba Agricultural Museum located in Austin Manitoba Canada.
The 101 used the 201 in³ six, taking advantage of its stock electric start, a first in a tractor. Run at much lower revs than the truck engine, the 101 came in the usual standard and row-crop models, with four-speed transmission, and was capable of 20 mph on roads. The row-crop model offered adjustable rear wheel
spacing and rear wheel brakes, as well as PTO. There was also a rare model with a single front wheel. They also featured hood sides with dozens of louvers, which disappeared late in 1941.The Super was upgraded to the 217 in³ Chrysler in 1940, giving it almost 50 hp (37 kW) at the belt, making it one of the most powerful tractors on the market that year. It continued to be used in the 101 Super until 1940, when it was supplanted by the 217 in³.
