John: Don't let the yellow paint throw you off, IH was using yellow primer in those days. It happened with 140, 240, 304, 404 and 504, possibly others. We had a guy on here 3 weeks ago, had a SC with a 240 wide front, he was stymied by the yellow paint on the front end.
If you wish to check if your tractor is all original, go to the casting date codes. they are didgets about 38" to 1/2" high, with what looks like a round head, blade type screw between each of day, month and year. The code goes day and month by number and year by letter. Each major casting on the tractor will have it's own date code. Most castings were cast about 1 to 4 months before tractor was built. if you engine block, torque tube, transmission case and hydraulic system fall within months of each other you can count on it being an original tractor. A is 1955, B is 1956, C is 1957, etc. you can go from there.
