I have recently been given a B. But there is no data plate. I would like to find out what year it is. How can I do this

My engine serial # is FAB 91093. The casting is 2-17-K. This does not seem to add up. Also this is the original engine

The engine is mid-1942, the casting number is early 1941. On what part did you find the casting number? If it is on the block (block not head), then I have no explanation, unless the engine sat around for over a year before the engine number was stamped. If the number came from another part of the tractor, that part could have been replaced. How do you know it is the original engine?

Back in the good old days they used to let castings sit around a while before machining them. They called it "seasoning". I guess it helped to stress relieve the castings. Kind a like seasoning wood. Maybe it makes sense.

you are correct, I just didn't know they left them for 13-14 months.

If it has the original engine, check the engine serial on the machined surface under the #1 spark plug. All but the last 19000 or so of the A, AV, B, BN had matching engine and chassis serial numbers. Also look for casting codes on the cast parts in the format of month*day*year, where the year will be a letter from J (1940) thru R (1948)--then look up the serial to the left on this site and compare.
