Here's some dates since Self Propelleds came out: Most is taken from 'THE GRAIN HARVESTERS" by Graham Quick and Wesley Buchele and dates may be production years. A few are guesses. "The Massey legacy, volume II" by John Farnworth and sold by Diamond Farm Books www.diamondfarm.com_ has a whole list of Massey combines made in Europe too. 50 clipper pull (38-58) 21 sp (1941 -1949) (auger header in 43) Clipper SP (46) Clipper 26 sp (48-52) 27 SP (49-52) 27l rice with live axle (51) 60 (53-59) 60spl (52-56) 90 (53-56) 90 spl (53-56) 70 (53) only 82 (57-63) 57-63) 72 pt (59) 92 (57-59) 35 pt (60) 92 Hillside special (56-59IJ) guess --levellers were added to 90's from about 53 in Moscow, Idaho by Farber I think. - guess 35 (58-63) 72 (59-63) Super 92 (60-63) Super 92 Hillside (60IJ-63IJ) guess 410 (64-72) 405 pt (66-72) 205 (66-70) 300 (63-IJ) 510 (64-77) 750 (73-81IJ) 760 (71-81IJ) 751 pt (1971-IJ) 540 (71-IJ) 550 (71-IJ) 850 and 860_865 and 851pt (81-87IJ) guess

I am sure all your info. is correct Red Painter but I cut my teeth on a 1956 Massey Harris 80 Special ran it when I was 12 years old back in 1971. It wasn't on your list so I thought I would just add to your post.
