I believe that all gasoline powered H's and M's had X1 as a suffix to the serial. Kerosene and distillate tractors may or may not have a suffix noting whether or not it has a kerosene or distillate engine. My H does not. If it does X3 is for kerosene, X17 for distillate. There can be another letter following the 3 or 17 depending on whether it has other options. If you have the original hood, X3 and X17 tractors or those with no designation will have a hole in the hood for the neck of the starting tank, which is usually missing. Although the first X1 tractor appeared in 1940, I would say that almost all of the H's and M's built from 1939 until the end of WWII were X3 or X17 tractors, whether the desigation was on the serial tag or not, as gas was in short supply. I don't know about the A's and B's, and I think the X1 designation mostly applied to the H's and M's. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
