Farmall A serial number

Josh Cole · Feb 23, 2011

I have a Farmall A that was my Grandfathers . We were always told it was a 1940 model . I have looked at the serial number and it does not match anything that I have seen for these tractors . It starts FAA131 and no particular year starts with these numbers according to what I"ve seen in books and the internet . any help would be appreciated .

The charts will not have the FAA in them.
That justs means it an A.
The number you posted is too low.
Wet the plate with some water and a rag.
That will make the numbers stand out a little bit.
See if you read the first number wrong.

Also make sure there are not more numbers after the last 1.

Provided the 131 is correct, you need one more number to make it a 1939, two more for a 1940, 3 more make it a 1945.

We have a Farmall"B" serial # 50169. At least 9 diff." tractor folks "have verified that is the # stamped on the plate.
All of my serial Number books list 501 for the starting no.for "A "s an"B s".
What would be the number for tractor number 1 or 2 be ?
What year is our "B"? Thanks in advance , clint
