Wanting to restore my grampas 53 Super H and found the serial number tag is missing. Is there any other numbers on the tractor or any other way to tell if it is a true Super H?

A Super H will have disc brakes held on with 4 bolts, but a few of the last Hs had that also. Super H will have "C-164" cast into the engine somewhere behind the oil filter canister. Regular H will have a part number in that same area. Engine serial number is stamped into a raised area on the engine block, somewhere under #1 spark plug. That number should have a prefix of SH if it is a Super H. Regular H will have a prefix of FBH. The various casting codes found on virtually every part of the tractor will also tell a story.

If it is a 53 it should have Y casting codes, probably. The format is 1*1*Y for instance, the digits are the day and month.

True, but the "Y" casting code still doesn't make it a Super, because '53 was the last year of production for the Farmall H, as well as the first year of production for the Super H.

H carbs look like a small multi-component elbow. The SH carb looks much larger with a float bowl the size of a medium flattened orange. A stage2 SH will have disk brakes for sure with live hydraulics and battery located under the seat. Google images of the carbs to see the difference. Jim

The disk brakes are actually held on by 5 bolts.
Disk brake housings are heavy-looking cast pieces, with the actuator linkage protruding from the lower front, and a stamped steel "button" in the side (which is sometimes missing).
Much different from the band brake pans, which are stamped sheet metal, held on by 3 bolts, with the actuator sticking out the side.
