i have a 140 farmall that has a cracked block that needs to be replaced.the numbers i found are C123 14315 5-19-A 354898R3. WHAT YEAR IS THIS? was this block used many years?

5-19-A = May 19, 1955.

From a quick 'net search, it appears casting # 354898R3 was used for quite a few years.

Part number 354898 R3 was not listed in your reply (March 22, 12:43) to post titled "113 CI Engine" below.
So could you shed some light on it?

i am pretty sure this is a newer model tractor maybe 70s.i think i read somewhere that the alphabets in the casting dates started over somewhere in the 70s.
i found a replacement block for 500.00 is this in line or should i just buy a short block..thanks

also the #s on the tag on the trans housing is 6968j...thanks

They started over in 1955 with A, Bob answered the question, don't think R3 blocks made it out of the fifties. If it has a serial # that may help.

there is a tag on the left side of the transmission housing that reads 6968j is this the serial# ? ....thanks

D Slater · Mar 23, 2009

That would be the tractor serial #, maybe a 100 or 200. Didn't notice before you may have already posted engine serial # 14315.
