My A has a replacement block and the seat bracket is gone, so no serial number. I have the following info off the machine:

Oil Filter number is IH 376375 R91 (168)
Zenith Carburator

Casting Codes:
Right side drop gear 6828-D
Transmission top 6832-D
Torque Tube/Bell Housing 8638 DE
Governor Front 6340-D
Front Frame 6530-DD

Other clues: starter and regulator installed. There is a dipstick in addition to the "check plugs".

Where can I go for help in determinging year? Fay/Kraushaar book doesn't help.

The casting date for each of the major parts should be visible. The last character will be a letter that will tell you the year if you check the Farmall Letter Series book by Guy Fay. My 1946 A has a date on the block (P for 1946), and a date on the torque tube and transmission case. The first casting was in February 1946 and the last was in May of that year.

Jim, You don't live in GR Michigan by chance? I used to know a Jim Isler who lived in the Grand Rapids area.

No, I live in Colorado. I did correspond with that Jim Isler several years ago on a geneological matter. Don't think he's into tractors.

The numbers you listed are part numbers, not casting dates(other than the oil filter). Look for something like this:

12*18*E

where the star(*) I types represents what looks like the head of a bolt. It reads like this:

month*day*year

and years are represented by letters. Post your findings and we'll help figure it out. :-)

My mistake - the oil filter number is also a part number. The fingers type faster than the brain thinks, sometimes. Sorry about that.
