Many of the Wallis serial numbers are located on top of the transmission box to the rear of the shift lever. The engine number isn't too good for ID purposes. Wallis was known for being the first to use the frameless design. The design was a bath tub look that joined the engine and trans/rear together to work as the frame. Most every tractor moved to this style and it's still used today. Wallis and the J.I. Case Plow Works merged in 1919 and kept the Wallis name for the tractor line. In around 1928 Massey Harris bought J.I. Case Plow Works and rights to Wallis. MH sold the Case name to J.I. Case Threshing Machine Co. MH used the Wallis name and designs for a few years before switching to the Massey Harris name. MH got an American dealer network and a good tractor line with the Wallis. They also got the bath tub U-frame design that changed the way tractors were built. Unimog
