Migraine, I aint saying it is, and I aint saying it isn"t, but gut feeling tells me it is a fraud. Not that the tractor isnt unique and utile as well as collectable as a conversation piece, but what raises the red flag is this. Having serial number 504 would indicate that it was at the beginning of the production run of the super H as opposed to the end of the production run where it would be more likely to see the same T.A. that appeared on the ensuing 300. I would follow Hugh and Rusty"s advice and check closely the casting date codes to see if they match. If the casting which houses the T.A. post dates the rest of the tractor meaning that casting was made in 1955 or later, it would indicate that that casting came from a 300 or 350 as no Super H"s were made beyond 1954. Remember, many folks have gotten very creative with some of the old iron, which is fine and dandy, but I believe they cross the line by trying to pass some of the stuff off as rare factory pieces. Carefull pre-purchase homework can prevent a buyer from paying more than real value when confronted with one of these situations. Personally, I would be very suspect in this case.
