Stan: I have no way of knowing when the exact date of change over to the 14 bolt head occured but it's got to be in 1959 at the latest, the second year of 140 production, in fact quite early that year. The change over came at C-123 engine serial number 65001.

My 1958 Farmall 130 s/n 9313 with engine s/n 56651, while my 140 has s/n 22157 and engine s/n 102230. If you consider the fact these engines were being used in 130, 230, 140, 240, tractors plus swathers and combines at the rate of about 9,116 engines per year. Since my 130 is a very early 1958 model one can assume the 9 bolt head engines were all gone by early 1959. Remember only 8,350 9 bolt head engines were built after my 130 engine. At the very most maybe 4,000 of the 140 tractors may have 9 bolt heads. The question is how many 130, 230, combines and swathers were built in 1958. It could have used all of those engines. I have never seen a 140 with 9 bolt head.

I do know my 130 has the original engine, and further can tell you on both my 130 and 140 the casting codes back up the fact they are both complete original tractors.
