I'll grant that the online records for '51 show only chassis serial numbers, and that the records, at least for the first couple months of '52 show motor serial numbers exactly 13,000 higher than the motors, just as the actual tractor you cite.
Put that together with the Motor serial number from the records for '52, and we have a problem.
Take it one step further and refer to Guy Fay's data book, where he lists two possible sets of serial numbers for later production Ms (one set agrees with the online records at Wisconsin, the other is different, but I trust Guy and assume he had conflicting sources, else he'd not have noted the disparity). Has your research resolved that issue?
Couple that with the fact that Bjarne is looking at a tractor with an "L" that sounds very much like it could be a casting code, which would be good for '42, and I'd want to know a LOT more before "assigning" a chassis serial number with no more information than we have and the disparity and potential for error in the data.
