How can a amateur tell the difference between the C and Super C Farmall by looking at it....There is no decal on hood....
 
The super C has a factory water pump,the C doesn't.The super has disc brakes,the C has the old band type.
 
The gas tank sets higher on top of the hy system. The opening for the crank is lower on the front bonnet. These two things are what makes a SC different from a C. All the other things could have been changed from the C but these two things will stand out as they are SC only
 
Gene is right in that some of the parts can be swapped around, but from the factory, the C had straight pedals, the SuperC pedals were curved back toward the seat (the easiest thing for the novice eye to spot), and while you're at the pedals, the C had band brakes, the SuperC had discs (takes a bit more of a trained eye). The comes the height of the grille, radiator and the corresponding height of the gas tank above the hydraulic block (really more of a used-to-looking-at-them kind of an eye), all taller/higher on a Super C. Water pump was stock on a Super C, but was an easy bolt-on if you wanted one.

Biggest giveaway, and the least apt to be replaced part would be those pedals. If they're straight, it's a C, bent, a Super C.

The other, more obvious tip, if they're there, are the serial numbers. Under 100,000, a C (they only went up to about 80,000). Above 100,000 a SuperC. Chassis serial numbers were stamped in a tag on the right side of the tool box that is also the seat support. If that's missing, the motor serial number is stamped into a a flat machined spot at the upper edge of teh block, just beneath the #1 spark plug. It is customarily obscured with an accretion of oil and chaff and the throttle control rod, but it's there. Motor number can be a little iffy as there were any number of configurations of the basic 113/123 motor ovet the years that could be bolted right in as replacements.

Look at everything but think pedals.
 
My neibor has tried to sell me his Super C,(it has the decal)straight pedals,no water pump, junk tires and wheels(all 4) locked up 2500.00 I ll pass.
 
I've seen two Farmalls at an auction about a month ago with a Super C front half (engine, grill, hood, radiator) and a C rear end with the C serial numbers. Auctioneer was calling them Super C's -those who knew corrected him. They were advertised as Super C's. I was surprised to see two tractors at the same sale mis-matched in the same way. The tractors didn't seem to from the same owner.
