Just posting this to open the discussion on SM serial numbers. For the starting serial # on the 1953 farmall series SM I have to question that. Also the 54 # for louisville SM tractors. The starting number for a 53 Louisville tractor matches the first one made in january of 53 or calender year. But on the Farmall SM the begining # doesn't match a SM non diesel tractor. Some production totals give a fiscal year from Nov. to Oct., but the first non diesel made in Nov. of 52 was serial 15264 or the first one for calender year was 21074. If the IH serial # reports are right SMD serial # 12919 was the first one built in Jan 53. One or some SMD must have had a hold up in the build system because they list serial # 12919 as first on list back to Sept. of 52. By Feb. of 53 the SMD numbers were back up to around the range of others. There was no 54 Louisville SM tractors. Last one was built 7-10-53 serial # 512541. Some IH stuff is always questionable and I think its correct at this time. But I make no claim my information is 100% correct so I invite any discussion or comments, even if its to tell me I'm full of crap. About to forget Dave2 the wheelbases you are comparing is a narrow front to wide front. Narrow front SMTA is 95-3/4.

He said that he had some corn that he still needed to pick with an antique one-row New Idea corn picker. Scott has a nice farm about an hour north of Lansing in St. Johns, MI. He wanted to get the rest of his corn in by the next day (Christmas Eve). We had about an inch of new snow on the ground and single digit temperatures. So in the bac
