Bob, the number you found looks like a part number instead of a serial number. Was it cast into the block? The serial number is hand stamped on a machined pad at the very top of the block where the head joins it. It should begin with "FAAM" followed by numbers (I think). The "FAA" designates your tractor as a Farmall A and the "M" indicates an engine serial number. A blank serial number pad (if that is what you have) would indicate a replacement block which should have been stamped by the mechanic who replaced it. A replacement engine will have a serial number, but somewhat different than you would expect for a "39 model. I have seen a number of A's and B's with steering shaft supports that have been repaired at the bottom by welding. My theory is that water accumulated in the tubes and corroded the tube away at the bottom. It appears yours was replaced sometime with a better unit. Good luck.
