I went and looked at a Farmall C for sale yesterday. It has a full set of cultivators and seed planters, lights, fenders, decent mis-matched rear tires, hydraulics, PTO, sheet metal nothing special. Starts and runs, but needs a generator and the carb worked on, as it leaks through gas. When I checked the serial number: FC 612. Doesn't this make it an early 1948? Has anyone seen, or heard about, one with a lower serial number still running and around? Asking price is $1200

The first Farmall C, #501 was built on 1-20-48. 75 were built that month. The first serial number for February was 576 and the first for March was 1118.

Jim, is data such as that online in the WI archives, or do you have to go there and search for it? I haven't used that site much, if that type of info is available, I will spend some time looking up my tractors. Thanks!

I don't think any of that data is online. Some of it can be found in the archives, but is incomplete. I don't know what all has been found there. The only data I have is for the Louisville plant and it is incomplete. I have monthly serial number lists for some years. For some other years I have annual production numbers without serial numbers.

Email hasn't shown up yet. Try sending it to me directly. I'll try to type my address in here so you can read it but an automatic email address harvester might not:

Mine C number is 530. Did not know it was such a low # until I went to order parts. May sell it come Spring.

With that low of a number it was probably built in the last half of 47 as thats when production was started. In the middle of AUGUST 47 they were on display at the IOWA STATE FAIR. Thats when i seen the first ones along with SALLY RAND who was on the midway with her feather.

That is a low serial number. I don't need the tractor myself, but I may try to buy it and list it here for someone who may want an early C. It's just sitting in the shed, should be out in the light of day for someone to pamper and love.

Likely built the 2nd or 3rd day of production, certainly in the first week.

This first Farmall C SN was 501 in 1948. Looks like that tractor wasn't far behind. Hal
