Cub Serial Number Tag is Missing - Need HELP finding out ...

Hey guys, I'm sure you've ran into this problem before. I am semi-restoring a Farmall Cub tractor and the serial number tag/plate is missing. I already have a buyer for it and he needs the serial number for his records, but I don't have one to give him. I also would like to install a new plate so it looks good and correct. The Cub is the earliest style with hydraulics (wire mesh grille).

How do I find out what the tractor serial number is??? I looked on the opposite side of the tractor on the engine block for the engine serial # and I could barely read the stampings (the hydraulic line are also in the way). From what I could tell, I think the stampings said "1CUBM", and then under that it read "1800". These stampings came off the flat place on the engine block, but from what I've seen that doesn't make sense. It is extremely hard to make out what is stamped there because they are so lightly stamped, but that looks like that is what it is.

Please help me so I can find out the serial number on my tractor so I can get it I.D.'ed correctly and sold to the guy intrested. THANKS SO MUCH!!!
 
You have no way to get the original # if the tag is gone. You can take the # off the block thenchecking the cast codes along with a reliable source of serial#s could determine close. You have no way of proof that the engine# is the same as the tractor cause the block may have been changed. Let the buyer find outfor himself. If you are resaling tractors you will need to check some things out before you buy.
 
That still won't help find the original serial number.

The only way you'll ever find it is if you can trace the tractor back to a previous owner who has the serial number recorded on a bill of sale.

It's practically impossible to find the serial number once the tag has been removed and lost.

So when are we going to see a piece of the profits that you're making off our knowledge? We're telling you how to source parts, fix problems, etc., for FREE, and you're reselling these tractors to make money! That's not right!
 
Thanks everyone for the help. Im sorry MKIRSCH if you feel that way, but the profits i make a very slim and sometimes none. I would like to keep my tractors for the shows, but coming out of college and cant find a job in Civil Engineering ive got to let them go. I fix them up mainly because i just love doing it. We've go so many of these tractors, and every now and then we'll have to go buy one to play with for a while. :)
