Massey Ferguson sold a variety of tractors with the AD3-152 used as a power plant. Quite a few were well over 40 hp. I've got one in a MF150 that will dyno 47hp now, although it was originally rated at 38pto.

The Perkins AD3-152 was rated well above 40 on several 200 series Massey's.
and, for the record, the Perkins in your AC was built by .....Perkins.....which was at that time, owned directly by MASSEY FERGUSON....So MF got 40 hp out of YOUR Perkins!
