Hey guys! I am back... Been along year in school so far. Ya'll know about my '41 SC. It took me almost 4 years to restore. My serial # is 4501960 SC. Here is a list of differences that I found among the early to late SC's: Most importantly- the bore and stroke was smaller on tractors up to 1951-it changed from 3 1/2" to 3 5/8"??Center Exhuast and air filtration, The air filter assy. had an "S" tube going to the carb rather than just having a box down the side and have a straight hose to the carb which was changed in 1942, some were offered without oil filters on the side of the engine-optional equipment, Larger shelled fenders-they extended further over the rear tire, with a light facing forward, a different front spindle bushing (prior to tractor 4501845) and a light facing rearward, a different gas tank support (up to serial number 4501149) A different fuel strainer bowl-to serial number 500000 , the flat rear wheels were standard until 1945, and then spokes were converted from optional(1942-1945) to standard in 1945, and flat rear wheels were dropped,Steel wheels were offered for all tractors, I have yet to find me a set, the steering wheel prior to tractor 4600001 had 6 spoke, instead of 3, a variation of clutch levers were used, mine for instance is similar to what you described, only it comes to a point on top, and is more narrow of a handle. They also had a thottle lever prior to tractor 4600001 that came straight up rather than curved over the seat mount which they droppd because they had complaints of trouble getting into first gear when tractor is at idle because the lever is in the way. These are just some of the changes. They had a variation of different parts- hitch styles, etc. that were put onto these old SC's. No SC could ever be exactly the same. Too many little differences. Talk to you later. It's been a while since I posted something in here!
