Suffix Codes...

Did every letter series tractor have an X1 suffix if it came out the factory doors with a gasoline engine?

I came across an M that made me wonder if it had been converted. There was no X1 suffix, the radiator had shutters, and the compression was at about 80 psi. On the other hand it only had a gas tank with no other holes in hood, and the manifold was a regular gas manifold with no heat adjustments.

If some gas engines left the factory without the suffix, then I guess it's just a gasoline M with optional shutters and low compression.

Hi Ryan , I've got 2 part's books ( TC-28 F & H ) that indicates that the suffix code wasn't implimented till serial #FBK 18158 . That would be in the year 1940 sometime . The book also indicates that the shutter was a " special " attachment for high compression gasoline and diesel engines and standard for distillate and kerosine engines . Hope this helps ....Randy

Guy Fay's data book says the 1st gas engine was Chassis serial FBK 18144, which would have been the same day as the number you quoted, perhaps meaning that all gas engines the X1 suffix. I agree with you that it is probably a gas engine with optional shutters. But 80 is a little low for a gas engine that originally had compression of 120 although it certainly not impossible. The engine likely needs work.
