CNKS: I know you've always maintained casting date codes are never more than 4 months, 6 months at very most, before the tractor was assembled.
I have recently run across a couple of tractors that have more than 1 year spread between serial number and codes. One has late 53 serial number and all X codes, some as early as March 52, yet every code on the tractor are X, and first half of 52. What is quite unusual is every casting has a code, even items like belt pulley drive, front wheels, pto, etc. Quite often some of those smaller castings don't have date codes. I am satisfied the serial number is original and this is an original tractor. I have not seen the second tractor.
