[AT] need to ID tractor

[Gene Dotson]

    Sounds like a Massey Harris, Maybe 20? The hitch cylinder was mounted on 
these tractors as you describe. Did it look like this

My son came across an older tractor for sale and told me about it. I was 
able to stop and look at it for a few minutes. I did not have camera with 
me. Itt was painted JD green and had a J-D decal under paint, but I am 
reasonably sure it was not a JD.

The tractor is supposedly a late 40's or early 50's unit. It has a 4 
cylinder Continental engine, and a driveline going back to the rear drive 
train. Transmission is a 4 speed. I recall that the shifter was in the rear 
drive train portion, but I also recall what looked like a transmission alsoo 
on the back of the engine. (wished I would have had camera and taken 
pictures.)

The frame is a bent channel that is rounded in the front, forming a "U" that 
goes around the engine. It has a wide front with a center pivot mounted to 
the "U" frame. Appears the sheet metal hood may have been replaced with some 
home made sheet metal

It has a 3 point hitch set up. This has what looks like a factory mounted 
special cylinder at the right and to the rear of the seat that operated the 
3 point linkage.

I was told it might be a "White" but and not sure.

Can any of you give me advice about what tractors in that era used 
Continental engines, and what this might be??

Thanks,
Dennis
