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 - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
