This new small Massey-Harris Pony Tractor is another example of Massey-Harris leadership in the tractor field; the development of this new model, built to sell at the lowest price possible, is the result of many years of research and experiment by Massey-Harris research engineers. In it the owner of small acreages and market gardeners will find all the practical advantages that will enable him to place his operations on a real profit-making basis. A full line of tools to "team-up" with the Pony is available for all his field work.
FOUR-CYLINDER MOTOR
The heart of the Pony Tractor is this stout little engine with all the modern features of its larger brothers. From its four cylinders and its 62 cubic inch displacement comes surprising power for its weight and size. With regular gasoline fuel it has a compression ratio of 6.5-1, ensuring high economy and flexible power output. It is cool running by reason of its thermo-syphon cooling system extending full length of the cylinder walls. Crankshaft is special steel-forging of high tensile strength and is balanced statically and dynamically. Connecting-rod bearings are precision lined for ready servicing. Pistons are cast-iron, tin-plated, and are proportioned for maximum rigidity and heat flow. Tappets are barrel type, easily removable for servicing. Lubrication of all motor parts is by full pressure system. Intake and exhaust manifold are made in one piece.
All the comforts and flexibility of automobile operation are yours in the Pony Tractor when equipped with self-starter and battery ignition.
Ir
Standard tires on the Pony are 4:00-15 front and 8-24 rear. When necessary in very tough land conditions, front and rear wheel weights are available.

THREE-SPEED TRANSMISSION
Matching the power of its sturdy little engine is this field tested, three-speed transmission specially designed for the Massey-Harris Pony Tractor. Smooth running, this transmission is of the selective spur gear type and is enclosed in a heavy, rigid case, with power transmitted to the wheels by heavy drop gear drives which permit the exceptional clearance under the axlean important feature when working in row crops. All gears are machine cut and accurately finished for quiet running and perfect fit. Main axle is mounted on heavy-duty Timken bearings. Band, drum type brakes, cam operated, are mounted on the final drive shaft.
Nothing has been missed on the Pony. Like the larger models in the Massey-
Market gardeners and small acreage users of the Pony tractor find in this new small tractor the answer to their power problem. For the first time, with a Massey-Harris Pony in their fields, they have the opportunity of doing their field work sitting downno more walking behind a team of horses or guiding an underpowered garden "tractor." In the Massey-Harris Pony you have all the power you need to do the work of a two-horse teamand more. With the development of the Pony tractor, Massey-Harris engineers devoted equally careful attention to the development of the tools that you would need to go with it. On this and the opposite page the more important of these tools are shown. Each of these tools has been designed for quick, easy, off-and-on. Each becomes virtually a mounted implement, but so simple is the attachment design in most cases that the implement provides the flexibility and advantage of a pull-behind implement with the added feature of being lighter in draft by virtue of its direct mounting to the tractor. There is the further advantage that, with a mounted implement, the job of transporting the outfit from field to field, or on the highway, is simplified by the method of raising the implement completely off the ground by the lifting device supplied for this purpose. For convenience and comfort and the capacity to get your field work done quickly and economically there is no better outfit on the market than the Massey-Harris Pony tractor and its complement of mounted implements.

It's a pleasure to operate the No. 20 tractor. The motor responds instantly to the demands of the throttle, delivering smooth, flexible, controlled power at the touch of your fingers. There's extra power for belt work too, by simply advancing the throttle to step up engine speed from 1500 R.P.M. to 1800 R.P.M.
The cylinder head has scientifically designed combustion chamber giving unusual smoothness and efficiency. A special feature is the patented individually ported design manifold. Individual porting makes full use of all the fuel, giving greater economy. Engine block is of solid bore type giving better compression. Valves are heat resistant, made of new austenitic material.
FOUR-SPEED TRANSMISSION
This No. 20 transmission is extra heavy and is enclosed in a rigid, precision-bored case. Gears run in accurate alignment and last longer. Shafts are short to eliminate flexing. All gears are forged from case-hardened alloy steel. Speed change gears are spur type, while fourth gear is helical drive to the spiral bevel differential. Entire transmission runs in bath of oil.
OF THE MASSEY-HARRIS 20
1 In the current models of the Massey-Harris tractor family, modern engineering brings to the tractor operator all the little conveniences that make his job as easy and pleasant as driving his motor car. Step up to the platform of the No. 20 and you will see what we mean ... finger-tip steering . . . full vision instrument panel . . .
non-slip clutch and brake pedals ... easy-acting gear shift.
Row crop models of the No. 20 are equipped with adjustable rear wheels to accommodate various row widths. Wheels may be moved in or out on the axle to any desired tread from 48 inches to 88 inches.
Massey-Harris was first in offering this handy selfstarter convenience in tractor design. With the touch of your toe, your tractor spurs to instant, surging life. Saves you up to 10% on fuel too, by eliminating idling between stops. Eliminate the possibility of accidents, that sometimes accompany hand cranking.
The man who sits on a tractor for 8 or 10 hours a day will appreciate the wide, roomy, flat platform of
the No. 20ample room here to stand occasionally and enjoy a relaxing stretch. The platform is of steel and is correctly corrugated to prevent slipping.
With clutch-like action the brakes on the No. 20 operate smoothly and positively, holding the tractor under. control with only moderate pressure on the foot pedals. Pedals may be interlocked for safety on the road or used individually for pivoting in the field.
The drawbar on the No. 20 is completely adjustable both up and down as well as from side to side. It extends well forward under the tractor, providing low centre of gravity,

The farmer with average acreage and equipped with medium size implements, can do no better than put this new Massey-Harris No. 30 to work in his fields. It has the power and it has the economy of operation that help you on the road to greater farm profits.
For growers of row crops the No. 30 is an ideal size for fast, efficient, economical operation.
Want to get your field work done in a hurry, at lowest possible cost? Then pin your faith on this great, medium-size Massey-Harris No. 30 tractor. It's rugged. It's sturdy. It will stand up to hard service. It's completely modern in every respect. It is a tractor engineered to do a job, not built down to a price.
FIVE-SPEED TRANSMISSION . .
Remember, power in the engine is not enough. It's pulling power at the drawbar that counts. That's why power in the Massey-Harris No. 30 is delivered in a straight line through the transmission to the drawbar. The result is the kind of power you need for tough conditions.
Pistons hove 3 cornpression rings and one oil ring. precision lined connecting-rod bearings for , easy servicing. Note full length water jacket cooling system below.
Gears in this No. 30 transmission are high quality alloy steel, machined to a thousandth part of an inch. They have a fine, close mesh with less backlash. Short shafts eliminate flexing. The transmission case is heavily ribbed and forms a strong, unyielding frame with gears and shafts always in perfect alignment. Gears, shafts and bearings run in a constant bath of oil. Bearings are anti-friction. The five forward speeds provide a full range of speeds for every field requirement.
4 The combined power lift and power take-off, supplied on special order, is quick and positive in action. A touch of your foot on the conveniently located control lever raises or lowers the attached implement instantly. Adding the power take-off is inexpensive because the main drive gear and shaft are built in at the factory.
The row crop model of the No. 30 is equipped with adjustable-tread rear wheels to work in varying widths of rows. Any range of tread from 52" to 88" is obtainable simply by loosening two bolts and sliding the wheel to the desired width: tighten the bolts and you are ready to go.
