Farmall Super H casting # question

Zachary Hoyt · Jul 20, 2011

I am looking at the head on a mostly original 1953 SH and in the spot where I am accustomed to see the casting number there is only an L and a numeral 1, quite a way apart. I looked on the outside of the head and could not see a number there either. Can anyone tell me where to look for the casting number or what the L and 1 mean? Thank you very much.

Is there any sign that the area in between has been ground away? If so, you are looking at a factory reworked head that was rejected from the assembly line for some defect, then fixed and sold through the dealer parts network. I have one on my 1940 H that was installed in the late 1950's when the dealer converted it to gas from distillate. It is most likely either a 362533R1 or a 364017R1. The first number is the regular SH head and the second number is for the 300/350, and in the 350 application is listed as the propane head. You got me on the L though, I cannot find anything about that, so unless it was a slip of the aforementioned grinder, your guess is as good as mine.
