my wife got me a 102 GRC senior the other day and for some reason we cant find the serial number thats spose to be stamped into the top of the trans case. i know massey put these numbers in all different places so i was wondering if anyone had any idea where they hid the numbers on the 102's. theres an R stamped on the top of the trans case and nothing else. mabe that R means something i dont know

Re: help with a 102

Re: help with a 102

I have found them on occasion actually partly hidden under the shifter cover. Why that is I have no idea. The casting date can be found on the bottom side of the engine tub near the back.It can help narrow down the year at least.

The 102 and the 101 are exactly the same tractor.One was for export and the other was not.Can't remember off the top of my head which was which though. The serial number tag was located on the left side of the engine tub in front of the clutch pedal and also stamped in the transmission housing on top by the clutch pedal.

The serial number should start 265###
They were built for three years,starting with 265001 in 1942

Re: help with a 102

got an update, no numbers where found anywhere(even removed the top plates off the trans to look!). theres not tag on the side where one should be. just has an R stamped on top to the rite of the pto shift leaver. after talking to several colectors, the only thing that anyone can come up with is that the "R" could stand for reaserch. so mabe it was one of there test tractors. i realy dont know how that could be cause its a 45 model

Without a #, how'd you get it narrowed down to a 1945 ?...the casting number on the underbelly like massey machanic said ??

Yep, that's what I thought. The "R" poses a very good question, indeed.
