A friend that knows tractors said the ser # for dad"s Farmall is under the seat on a placque. It reads, we believe: 310139. IF that is correct, the highest ser. # Farmall was made in 1947 in Louisville. That year started off with the ser. # 220000.
Does this sound right to ya"ll? by the way: I have learned more since last post.
It has a radiator, but not a water pump. (Pressure forced cooling).
It has a crank, and starts with two moves, 1-a pull knob, once pulled out, this sends power to the distributor. 2nd, is a pull wire, similar to the size of a heavy coathanger wire. Pull this and it engages the starter, and it cranks. NO KEY.
Dad had pretty much bypassed the started, it probably was bad, and he started it with the crank.
It is definitely a gasoline engine, I thought it may be diesel, but it"s not--it runs off of gas.
The front of the tractor has a rounded nose; it doesn"t have a boxed look like the 140s.
The front wheels are not together, side by side, but are spaced apart.
It also has turn signals on each fender, which are mounted in a square metal bracket around the amber blinker.
One man replied this sounded like a Farmall AB. I"ve never heard of that. Was that correct? Im leaning towards an IH Farmall Super A. Just the markings are all gone. Not sure yet though.

As a matter of fact, some of the technology experimented with over 40 years ago makes today's tractor technology seem absolutely stale by comparison. Experimentation, from the most complex assembly to the most simple and mundane component, is as an integral a part of any farm tractor's development
