I agree that the serial # I posted would be wrong to put on tractor if engine is not original or chassis is not original to engine. Also thats why I stressed if original in every post. When I told him the chassis # would be 285809 if original tractor. I can't find were the 51 and 52 tractor or engine serial numbers overlap if you looking at the IH monthly starting numbers for M tractors and engines. Think part of the problem with 51 ending numbers is the last MD in 51 may have been 285099 and the M gas numbers were around 5000 or more higher at end of 51. These numbers get lumped togeather under M and the problem arises. Another problem is IH didn't always use calender year for everything. I may be hardheaded but have no ill will toward you. The way I look at IH records is the first carburetor tractor M built for the month is Nov. 51 284158, dec. 287940, 1952 jan. 290923, feb. 294028, mar. 295555. MD tractors start of nov. 1951 283664 dec. 283945 jan. 52 285211 feb. 285488, march 298021. In early post I didn't mention MV was made into april 52. Going to need you to point out to me were the M carbureted tractor serial numbers overlap for 51 and 52. If they do I'm going to feel like the dumbest person around.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
