M-H engine/clutch design-why didn't more brands use it?

Posted by Alberta Mike on February 13, 2000 at 18:23:51 from (207.153.51.102):

If we look at Masseys like the 101's, 102's, 20's, 30's, 33's, 44's, 55's etc. their method of dropping the engine and clutch housing into a cast iron tub, then coupling the whole works up to the tranny/differential with a simple chain and sprocket coupling via a drive shaft made a lot of sense. Easy to work on and simple to replace a clutch, do a motor job, etc. Now, why did they use this system and yet so few others use it? When you think of the work that goes into splitting a tractor it amazes me. There must be some advantage in the single-unit design since most seemed to use it. Any reasons that you know of?
