Farmall 200 with Factory Looking Hood Decals

Guys this is the first one I have seen or heard like this.....I know it is possible they were made up by someone that makes decals because someone wanted to refurbish the tractor with the materials they had and on a budget......BUT these decals look so nicely designed and made (and old) that I feel like they would have been OEM. Was there a period IH might have used the left over Super C hoods and simply used a decal to mimic the metal badges?

We just bought this tractor yesterday locally and dug it out of a barn. The motor is loose, so don't know yet if we'll get her running or part it out. The serial tag on the bellhousing is missing (but I don't even see any existence of rivets). I guess I could pull some casting codes and engine serial.

Not sure about a 200. But around 25 years ago if you wanted a metal farmall emblem from case IH for a 300,400 ETC they sold you a decal that looks like what you see. Think I still have one in the box, made a nice decal to put on a tool box, trailer or whatever. They came rolled up.
 
Let me know if you part it out. I would be interested in the shaft that runs through the tool box for the lift all.

Yeah, I realize that is a Super C hood, that is why I asked if yall thought it could be an early 200 and they used up the Super C hoods and simply made some decals for those that resembled the upcoming metal emblems.

The Serial number tag isn't on the seat box but I will look close to see if there are rivets from one.

The engine also has petcocks, not sure if that is a Super C only thing, but I know those engines eventually had dipsticks.

Are there any other signs to positavely identify it as a Farmall 200? I also noticed the taller gas tank, which was on the Farmall 200. Was it also on the Super C?
 
My 200 is an early one at serial #700 and I have a dipstick.
I am by far no expert, but I do not think the 200 had a serial # on the seat box. Mine does not and has no provisions for one . I think the only one is on the front left side of the tranny, right on top of the semi large square boss
 
When you buy as used tractor never know what previous owners have done to it over the last 60 pluss yrs even to altered decals and wrong hood I see they even took the generator hard to tell what else is missing anyway have fun.
 

You are exactly right about that Gene...you just never know. I got the generator and regulator. It was laying by the tractor on an oil drum. The rest of the tractors looks to be untouched/complete, minus the rest of the battery box (of course). It is possible that since IH supposedly offered those decals after the fact (60s/70s I'd preseume), that the PO refurbished it with a motor from a Farmall C (hence petcocks and no water pump), and used that hood on it with a new set of decals. I just found it very odd that those decals were on the tractor having that they looked like a copy of the metal badges. I knew they had to be something made at IH because the average decal maker would have to have those metal badges to make some and the PO would have to really want those badly to have them made. Not likely. The brakes on the tractor are quite good actually.
 
Is it possibly a Super C that someone changed to the 200 grill and added the 200 decals? With the type of Fast-Hitch and Toiuch control it has, it's either a SC or 200.... need some numbers to tell which. It's begining to look like a tractor built from parts.
When selling a used tractor, dealers would sometimes make it look like a later model, like 230 paint on a 200 or like the second JD 60 Dad bought that had *20 series paint.
 
The sheet metal on the '00 and '30 series tractors was pi$$ poor per the late Hugh McKay.

All you had to do was look at it wrong and it was dented... It is pretty common to see Super C sheet metal on 100's, 200's, 130's and 230's.
 

Yep it sure seems that way. They are all dented and impossible to get sheet metal for. I am pretty sure it's a 200 originally although I haven't ran any codes or numbers. It's got th fast hitch and the flat back lights which are hundred series options.

Our late '54 Super C had flat back lights and Dad bought it new (in Feb or Mar. of '56), so that in itself isn't a "tell". Only way to tell if it's a SC with a 200 grill or a 200 with a SC hood is by the numbers. Not a 230 due to the different Fast-Hitch and most 230s did not have Touch Control, but TC was still an option. No water pump so engine must be a C-113 instead of a C-123.
 
When I look at the last photo, I can pretty much make out the round super C decal behind the 200 decal.
 
Noticed most casting codes rearward of engine are an "A" including the touch control. The torque the has an "s" casting code. Couldn't find any marking on the engine block or head but below the carb on the block I thought I saw a lone "s" on it. Another thing too note is that the front rims have those "clamp" style lugs found on the Farmall A tractor and the early Super A tractors.
