I have read posts on hear with people taking the serial number of a tractor and breaking it down to the month and plant it was built. I am just curious as to when and where my tractor was built. I know it is a 1950 farmall H but thats it. here is the serial number FBH 335016 X1. I have enclosed a pic of my H for you to see.

Farmall Works was in Rock Island, IL. I think they started producing tractors - or at least parts - in 1925.

Here is a link to a Max Armstrong segment about the old plant, shortly before it was torn down.
