The tractor itself is undoubtedly configured as an A, that was never in question. The left side is short, the weld runs from about 10:00 to 2:00 on the housing (diff) where it attaches to the tranny. The crack isn't on the block of the engine at all. It sits right under the lower radiator hose... the axle mounts to it... its right in the same area as the u-bolt that limits axle travel. The weld is about 1/2" wide and around 5 or 6 inches long there. I also just thought about it, but the light bracket appears to have been struck from above because the bracket/bar is also welded in place because it appears the base was damaged where the set screw comes down into it. The radiator drain plug looks like the handle/ears on it were knocked off as well. No engine cracks... the engine serial number was definately hand stamped because its all out of wack. What doesn't make sense is that the casting date on the block and head says 1945(O), but the serial number looks like its a 47 or something if you use guy fay's info. If the tractor itself is a 1946 with a 158*** serial number, why the heck is the block a 1945 with a 190*** whatever serial number??? I can't find any FAB specific serial number dating info... Guy fay's book says to refer to the FAA serial numbers...
