Here are a couple of pictures of the MF8 gas tank and the bracket that holds the tank. The tank sits down in from the top and clamps around the tank just below the lip that goes around the side of the gas tank.
I found some pictures of the bracket and tank these were posted on here a while ago and I forgot about them. Thanks to esbbent!
The bracket is unique and wraps around the tank spring loaded. I cant see the other side of the bracket so not sure how it attached to the engine? Also not the steel tank with the very short neck. I assume this helps keep it under the hood?
You know, that is a excellent question! And currently I don't know the answer. I can't find any data tags. It is a Tecumseh engine. It seems to be the right fit for the tractor. The air cleaner coming out the left side of the grill seems to match other Massey 8 tractor pictures I have seen. I have been assuming its a 8 hp? Not sure if the experts on here can tell? Some pictures.
the engine model is stamped into the tin just about where the f. l. corner of the gas tank is.
looks like an HM80, but thats only a guess and about half the story
Sugarmaker, I sent you a pm but not sure if you received it. I was chatting with a guy in Indiana today and asked if he had a gas tank for your 8. He said he did and for you to give him a call. His name is Rick and his number is 7six5-938-nine510.

If you need any pictures of how anything should go or be mounted, I'm pretty sure my son's "new" 8 is all original.
Here it is with most of the sheet metal removed. Should be back from the paint shop around the middle of next week. Our buddy Rick hooked me up with an original muffler assembly that should arrive shortly also.
We are trying to get it ready for the Lebanon Valley Indoor Tractor Show in Mid February.
Very good, glad you are finding everything you need. I received my muffler from Rick yesterday, sandblasted it and put a couple coats of paint on it today. We are close to full assembly day!

Received my gas tank and headlights/ taillight for the Massey 8. The bracket that came with it looks very similar to the one that I have. Which I thought was cobbled up by someone. Turns out it must have been what was on my tractor. Have been working on maple stuff so the Massey will have to wait for a while.
Anyone have pictures of the rear light placement on a Massey 8?
Regards,
Chris
