[Ford-ferguson] Massey Harris and Ferguson Pony model?

[MasseyH at aol.com]

I have found that the Massey Tractor Data Book by Keith Oltrogge is about  
the best reference.  In there he references the numbers I shared earlier -  
serial numbers 23149 to 23853 as being gray Ponys.  In most cases we say if  
it has a 23XXX number it might have been gray.  All gray Ponys had the MHF  
tag on them.  The serial number and the Pacer front end are usually  the 
give away as to whether it is a gray Pony or not.  HOWEVER, the rare  1957 red 
MH Pony also had the Pacer front end but their numbers started with  24XXX.
 
Hope this helps a little.

Are  there records of which Pony's with the MHF tag are the actual gray
Ferguson  models?

Some of the later models of red MH  Pony had the MHF tags as well.

One  difference that I have seen is on the name plate tag  located below  
the
right front of the engine.  It will only say  Massey Harris for the  Massey
Harris tractor and Massey Harris  Ferguson on the Ferguson  model.

Does anyone know for sure about  any  differences in the Massey Harris
Pony and the Ferguson Pony? I  read  "somewhere" that the only
difference was the serial numbers and  the paint.  I also seem to recall
reading that there were no clear  records as to which  serial numbers
were painted gray and which were  red and yellow.
My Pony  is Massey Harris (or at least that is how it  was last painted)
but I am a  little tempted to paint it gray to show  it along side of my
TO-20  Ferguson.
I have a 8N and I am "quietly"  (that means you do not mention it  in
front of the wife) watching for  a steal in a 9N.
I have a bunch of  old tractors in all sizes, colors  and in different
conditions (18, I  think). But since I retired I am  slowly shifting to
smaller tractors that I  can haul several at a time  easily.
My small ones  are:
TO-20
8N
AC-C
MM-R
MH  Pony
Case VAC
Farmall CUB
I  plan to show all of these this  summer/fall. The 8N is the least
likely to  be ready. I may have to  show it in a row of baskets.  ;-)
I do show  some in working  clothes.
