Earliest Super A and Super C numbers I have are the first of each built in June 1952:
Super A 330738 engine 332287
Super C 149945 engine 151959

The 2 engine numbers are so different, that I think it is pretty clear that the Super A and Super C engines did not share a common engine number sequence. The last C was 80432 and the first Super C was 100001. With the Super C serial and engine numbers running so close in 6/52, it seems unlikely that the Super C engine numbers continued straight from the C engine numbers. Makes me suspect that Super C engines started with 100001 as well. By the way, the first Super A in 1/53 was serial 336880 engine 338358.

First numbers from July 1954 provide a few more pieces:
Super A 355639 engine 357449
Super A1 356001 engine 206628
Super C 197298 engine 206239
Based on the looks of those engine numbers and since the Super A1 used the C-123 engine, it looks like from the point production of the Super A1, it and the Super C shared a single sequence of engine numbers.

Looking at The start of 100/200 production:
Nov 1954
F100 501 engine 572
I100 501 engine 976
F200 501 engine 663
Dec 1954
F100 1070 engine 1389
I100 502 emgine 1694
F200 745 engine 1416
So yes, it looks like the 100/200 shared a single set of engine sequence numbers, but they evidently started the engine numbers over (at 501?) for those tractors.

In September 1956, the LAST of each model:
F100 18940 engine 35930
F200 15698 engine 35131

Looking at The start of 130/230 production:
Nov 1956
F130 501 engine 36046
F230 501 engine 36001
So it looks like the 130/230 shared a single engine sequence starting at 36001, about where 100/200 engines left off.

In May 1958, the LAST of each model:
F130 10209 engine 58560
F230 7671 engine 57745

Looking at The start of 140/240 production:
June 1958
F140 501 engine 65046
F240 501 engine 65032
I240 501 engine 65017
So it looks like the 140/240 shared a single engine sequence starting at 65001.

Cub and Louisville Super M numbers get to be another whole story. It looks like there were several intentional gaps in Cub serial numbers but not the engine numbers.

That is about what I can make from the numbers I have seen. I hope I didn't put any typos in all these numbers.
