Like Fawteen said, the serial number will be your best info if you're not otherwise familiar with them. Trick is they are located in all different places. They can be on a fuel tank support on some of the F series. On the Letter series, they could be on the seat support (whether that is a a simple support (A,AV,B, BN) or the tool box holding the seat up (C) or the left side of the clutch housing (H,M)

If it's a letter series (A, B, C, H or M or one of their variants) there will be a serial number on the motor that will often match or at least correspond closely with the chassis serial number. It is located on the top edge of the crankcase at the front, on a flat-milled spot just underneath the #1 plug. If the chassis serial number should be missing as it sometimes is, you can still start figuring things out with the motor serial number, which will have a prefix the same or similar to that of the the chassis that the motor was original to. (Not most by any means, but a lot of motors were changed out for one reason or another.)

Those prefixes would be FAA (A), FAB (B),FABN (BN). Ibn those instances the motor and chassis prefixes are the same. On the Others the chassis serial prefixes were FC (C and Super C), FBH, (H) and FBK (M). On those tractors the motor prefix was the same but with an M at the end.

That ought to be enough to get you started. Then do as Fawteen suggests and look through the tables at the left. If there's a question, and it wouldn't be unusual if there were, why come on back and we'll help you sort it out.

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U ... [Read Article]
