There should also be a number stamped on the engine block above the magneto which corespondse to the tractor seriel number plate or possibly a few numbers off.

On casting codes it should be day and month by number and year by letter; X is 52, Y is 53, etc. V was not used. You can go either direction from that.

Sometimes the number of the year was used instead of the letter code. I have seen this on (if I remember correctly) 1947s. Might be some others. Just one more thing to add to the confusion.

Rusty: Sometimes one has to wonder if IHC didn't stand for IH confusion rather than company.

Now this discussion has me in a quandry. My dad's M was bought new in 1951 by my grandpa and has never ben out of the family. Nothing has ever been replaced on this tractor. All the castings are original but going by the numbers the engine is a 1949 the transmission is a 1950 and the steering pedestal was cast 8-16-51. Can anyone explain this?

Mike: That is not unusual, back then tractors selling as fast as the Farmall line was. IH would run as much as 2-3 years supply of one casting then change to another. If the castings were much more than that, then cause for alarm. It is not uncommon to find tractors today with castings off by 5 to 10 years. Letter series Farmalls were built for 15 years and most castings will bolt up on a given model. There are a few exceptions.

There are also tractors out that didn't get sold new until 2 years after production. Most of this happened vast distances from factories in IL. I grew up in Nova Scotia Canada, and this was very common out there. Tractors there are registered with registry of motor vehicles. My SA is a 53 and was first registered in 55. I have seen tractors where that spread was 3 years.

Hugh, Perhaps that "C" was for "Consistantly inconsistant"
