An SW6 "should" be both a "Super" and a "standard". The "Super" is in comparison to the earlier W6 (bigger engine, and other stuff). The "standard" refers to the "standard tractor" design with a wide front; this is opposed to the Farmalls, which were mostly available with the narrow, row-crop, tricycle design, although they were also available with a wide front. Confused yet?

The W6 was intended for the Wheatlands or Western market where a tight turning radius wasn't much of a consideration, and was built closer to the ground than the M Farmall which was its counterpart in the row-crop design.

Your serial number indicates a 1953 Model (see the data via the link). You can look at the casting codes on the tractor (11-12-Y would indicate November 12, 1953, 1954 would have a Z) for another clue about the date.

Welcome to the IH/Farmall group. Fairly amiable and generally very helpful collection of nuts.
