Is there a way to ID the year of our Super A if the serial plate is missing? Is that info stamped elsewhere?

I had answer for you and lost it before I could send it. Dito to Retcol plus the following--

The chassis and engine serial numbers of the earlier tractors through the 1940s frequently matched. In the 1950s the parts books suggest the numbers may match but effort to maintain matched numbers was no longer practiced.

If the the casing code dates for major assemblies match the engine casting code. That may indicate it still has the orginal engine. If you can locate the engine serial number located at the upper forward right side of the engine block, then that MAY be the the number you are looking for, or at least the closet you will get.

Thanks for the quick help. If I"m reading the casting codes correctly I"ve come up with 11-8-A and 1-11-A. Again, if I"m reading the tables correctly that would imply a 1955 casting. How does that fit in with the 1947-1954 production dates of the Super A? Would this seem to indicate that the tractor is one of the last ones of that model produced?

It is not likely that the 1-11 and 11-8 parts were both installed at the factory. One or both are likely replacements. You should look at others, usually they are not more than about 1-4 months apart and often much closer than that. If the 1-11-A happens to be 1-11-B, then you have a 56 model, or at least that part is.

The A casting date code would indicate you have a Farmall 100. Which casting had these two codes? The engine serial number is directly below number one spark plug on a machined flat surface and the numbers and letters are stamped in place as opposed to cast in place. That machined surface will contain tractor model number and engine serial number.

Super As after serial number 310300 started to have a spread between tractor and engine, engine number always higher. By the end of production in 54 that spread was about 2000. For example my Super A has tractor serial number 336977 and engine serial number 338597, 1953.

If you have a 100, a new set of guidelines kick in, Farmalls 100 and 200 each had a separate set of tractor serial numbers, however the engines shared the same sequence of numbers. Those soon got way off from being the same.

That solved the problem. Thanks. It is indeed a 100. The decals indicated a Super A and obviously we didn't know what we were buying.

I expect you know Farmall 100 serial plates are on left side of clutch housing, and not on the left seat support like A and Super A. Just in case your not aware of this.

You can use the casting date codes on the large parts of the tractor. These dates provide clues about when the tractor was built. The following are examples of the dates: Q---1947, R---1948, S---1949, T---1950 etc. In 1955 the alphabet started over again.
