Like Fawteen said, the serial number will be your best info if you're not otherwise familiar with them. Trick is they are located in all different places. They can be on a fuel tank support on some of the F series. On the Letter series, they could be on the seat support (whether that is a a simple support (A,AV,B, BN) or the tool box holding the seat up (C) or the left side of the clutch housing (H,M)
If it's a letter series (A, B, C, H or M or one of their variants) there will be a serial number on the motor that will often match or at least correspond closely with the chassis serial number. It is located on the top edge of the crankcase at the front, on a flat-milled spot just underneath the #1 plug. If the chassis serial number should be missing as it sometimes is, you can still start figuring things out with the motor serial number, which will have a prefix the same or similar to that of the the chassis that the motor was original to. (Not most by any means, but a lot of motors were changed out for one reason or another.)
Those prefixes would be FAA (A), FAB (B),FABN (BN). Ibn those instances the motor and chassis prefixes are the same. On the Others the chassis serial prefixes were FC (C and Super C), FBH, (H) and FBK (M). On those tractors the motor prefix was the same but with an M at the end.
That ought to be enough to get you started. Then do as Fawteen suggests and look through the tables at the left. If there's a question, and it wouldn't be unusual if there were, why come on back and we'll help you sort it out.

Today's Featured Article - The Cletrac General GG and the BF Avery A - A Bit of History - by Mike Ballash. This article is a summary of what I have gathered up from various sources on the Gletrac General GG and the B. F. Avery model A tractors. I am quite sure that most of it is accurate. The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
