The first M engine built would have been 501. The E stands for 8000 ft altitude, M for low speed gears, EXCEPT that M should not be an engine suffix as the M should be on your missing chassis serial plate--but, the serial of the very earlier tractors were on the frame rail, don't remember which one, so you might check. It is possible that the early engines had the same letter codes as the chassis, as both engine serial and chassis serial should match on the first few hundred tractors. Look for other casting codes on other parts of your tractor -- does transmission cover have a slot that runs to the rear, or is it flat? If it has the slot then the tractor should be a 39 or 40 (I or J). However, I can't explain the P on the engine, provided it follows the month*day*year format.
