Lots of part numbers, and some stuff that doesn't make sense, but not the piece of information necessary to determine whether you have a true distillate tractor or not... The brass tags with the dates on them are not OEM as far as I know. These were added by someone, perhaps the dealer, perhaps to indicate when the tractor was serviced? You should be able to find a machined flat spot on the side of the engine where serial number is truly stamped INTO the metal. Where you're saying "stamped," I would say that "cast" would be the more appropriate term. Remember, this tractor could very easily have had many things changed, including the hood, block, or any other component. It's not necessarily "numbers matching" original, and without the serial number tag, we can only make an educated guess as to what the tractor originally was. Also remember that a distillate carb has the brass petcock on the bottom.
