MH 33 Mower

I am going to restore this Massey Harris 33 mower and it will go in the wagon I am building. Looks like most of it is there except maybe a few parts for the hitch and the seat. I have the seat leaf but not the seat pan. Anyone know if those were stamped steel or cast? There is some paint on it and it looks like the main machine was red and the wheels yellow. Is that correct? Anybody have some good pictures with detail?

Dan,

I have a piece of Colored Sales Literature that has a picture of the MH33 Mower.  I'm going to attempt to attach a scan of it.  Never tried this before.

RE:MH 33 Mower

Thanks Terry. I am still looking for some pictures of restored mower. I have searched many sites and I see them painted all different colors, I am not sure that the sales brouchure is correct as they did not have the printing colors and ease that we have now. I see some brochures that show it all red and some green and yellow. The only paint I can find is yellow on the wheels the rest is to rusty for any paint. Also anyone have the measurement of the wood pitman stick.

Dan,

I think this was a very nice original 33 from memory at the 2012 Baraboo Wisconsin Expo. Note the lovely original decal on the seat spring.

Also two others here in UK taken at a Massey feature in 2015, both originally horse drawn and converted to tractor drawbar.

Dan, 
I have the mower that Malcolm took pictures of at the 2012 Baraboo show. If there is a particular part that needs more detail, please let me know. The cut off tongue has hints of red color.

RE:MH 33 Mower

Can you measure the length of the wood pitman arm? Also could you get a clear picture of the decal. I would appritiate it very much. No hurry.

RE:MH 33 Mower

Also Mike if you could get a picture of the bracket under the tounge  and the oil can holder that would be great. You have a very nice original mower.

RE:MH 33 Mower

Here are three new pitman's I bought the last time I was at Balsters in Scotch Grove Iowa before they ceased trading, what a time warp experience seeing the place and meeting the old gentleman, a morning I shall never forget.
These are 34.5 inches total length.

l have three foldout brochures on the 33 mower and all show different colour combinations, seems like you can take your pick on the options.

RE:MH 33 Mower

These are the British Haymaking Machinery brochures of 1936, 37 and 38 showing the Number 33 mower, including the different size cutter bar options and prices of the day in British Pounds.
Hope you have made your colour choices Dan?
