The last owner of our Farmall M, painted over the serial number tag. Also, looks like it has several small dings in it right over the serial number. (possibly someone trying to chip the paint off to read the tag, but instead denting in around the number making it harder to read.)
How do I get the paint off of the tag, without harming/removing the integrity of the plate? Any thoughts on decifering the number through the dings?
thanks
DJL

Use a good masking tape and mask off the area around the plate and use paint stripper on it. Works every time. Sometimes making a pencil and paper rubbing can assist. Place, and hold firm, a piece of typing paper over the tag, rub the paper with the side of a #2 pencil, making a pattern on the paper. It has been done on many tags.
Good luck, JimN

Rub it with some paint remover to remove paint. Then rub it with steel wool. Most of the writing on the plate will probably be lost but you will probably be able to make out the stamped serial number.
