The 42 and 42R are the same machine. The 42R just had a rasp bar cylinder and the 42 had a "flail" cylinder which basically was angle iron bars instead of regular cylinder bars. Both came out in 1940. I can't prove this but I think most of them were 42R's. The 52R is just a 42R with a wider width of cut, (5' instead of 4')a bigger grain tank if it was a tanker model, and also the 52R could have an optional power unit (Continental Y-69, later a Farmall Cub) instead of PTO drive. There were quite a few updates over the 42R's production years, it looks like that it sort of "morphed" into the 52R.

I'll have to check but I think the 62 came out with the 42R. It was styled like the 42R but I believe it's design is somewhat different than the 42R.
