Super C question

Just wondering if anyone has access to the production records for the Farmall Super C series as I"d like to know how close mine might be to the end of production. Mine is #188964.
 
187788 seems to be the last recorded serial # for a SuperC. That does not square too well with the number you have supplied. This site and Tractor Data both show this #. Guy Fey (is an author with substantial research behind his data. His books, might indicate otherwise. He posts on here at times. Jim
 
Here is Super C info listed in "INTERNATIONAL HARVESTOR TRACTOR DATA BOOK" by GUY FAY :

1951 SN# 100001-131156
1952 SN# 131157-159129
1953 SN# 159130-187787
1954 SN# 187788-198310

Sure wish I knew what the number was on Dad's SC because he bought it "new" in March or early April 1956. Small NE Iowa dealer had a carry-over SC and a 200 and Dad had his choice. They were both equipped the same and as I recall the dealer knocked off $200 or 300 off the SC. I was with Dad when he bought it and some Fast Hitch and other equipment. If not one of the last built, it must have been one of the last sold new.
 
I was told by an employee of our then local IHC dealership after the 200's were introduced they bought an entire rail car load of 1954 Super C's the factory was clearing out at a reduced price to eliminate the inventory. Finding a late Super C in this part of central Missouri is probably not difficult and bet this practice was exercised by numerous IH dealerships around the country. A model 200 is somewhat a rare tractor in these parts as are 230's and 240's which followed the Super C's while the C's and SC's are quite common, Hal.
 
Guy Fay's and Ken Updike's books give the 1954 range as 187788-198310--This site and Tractor Data simply have too much data to be accurate.
