Is there any relation to Massey Harris?
There is no relation to Massey Harris. The Harris combines were made in, I think, Stockton, California. They were competitors to the Holt combines in both Hillside and Prairie combines. Holt/Caterpillar combines were made in the Stockton/San Leandro California area, where Caterpillar also started. Holt sold out their combine business to John Deere in the 1930's.
Harris was lashed up with JI Case briefly in the 1960's, and a few hillside combines were painted Flambeau red just before Harris went under. Someone in the Midwest bought out Harris and then disappeared.
