Sounds like you have a rare baby, there. The Massey Harris General, sold in 1941-41, used an IX series Hercules engine. It was made by Cletrac for MH. It was basically a Cletrac HG on wheels instead of tracks. However, MH backed out of the deal, and BF Avery took over the sales of the model. Unlike other MH tractors, the General was painted Cletrac yellow.
