What is the largest horse power hit & miss engine that Massey Harris made? 
I have a friend who is executor for his Grand father's estate. There is a huge hit & miss that's suppose to be a Massey. Shed is full and of coures it's in the middle of the shed and can't get to it until a lot of things are moved.

Steve,

Early Massey Harris Type 1 open crank hit and miss engines were made in 8 sizes,

1.5, 3, 4.5, 6, 8, 12, 15 and 20 HP

Type 2 engines of both open crank and later enclosed crank throttle governed engines were made in 4 sizes.

1.5, 3, 4.5 and 6HP

Hope you can post us a photo.

Malcolm.
 

Malcolm, Thanks for the reply. This is an estate and all heirs are grandkids, 23 of them. All have different ideas as what to do with the estate. Could be a real knock down drag out.
I'm just trying to help a friend identify what's all in the shed. There are somethings I have no idea what they are. there is a lot of things from his great and great-great grandparents. I'll take a camera with me the next time i'm there. 
I've seen 5 & 6 horse power engines, and this one dwarfs those. Problem is lighting is not great and engine is about 40 feet in.
