I still can't make out a serial number, but I'll try again in daylight. My engine has no frost plugs, and has a four blade pusher fan. The grease zirks are on the front of the spindles. It has the cast aluminum battery tray, dash and tranny cover, and double rib on the fenders, but the steering wheel is three spoke, and the rear axles have rivets. And Dell you are right about the little tag, it is cast in place. This tractor was in quite nice shape, although the steering is somewhat loose. I bought if at an estate sale from a man who was a Ford tractor dealer in West Salem, WI. There was not much paint on it when I bought it, but the man's son told me it had been stored inside for at least 20 years, and since I've had it, it has always been inside. Anyway when I bought it there was no compression, so I tore it down expecting the worse, but found that the engine had been completely overhauled, shortly before the tractor was stored away. It honestly looked like it was never run, except all of the rings were stuck. the valve seats were perfect. Anyway I haven't used it a lot, just for messing around here and there.
One thing about this tractor, the control for the three point is very poor. There is no middle, it's either all the way up, or all the way down.
Thanks again for all your input, I'll let you know if I find a serial.
Tom
