Hi Jim R: My second Farmall C is an early unit. Back when I bought it about 7 or 8 years ago, I made a list of all numbers I could see on just about every part. I don't trust the usual tag riveted on right side of box the seat is mounted on... too easy to swap from another unit. The numbers I trust a little more are those on the top plate over the rearend & tranny. Those numbers are right under your heel of your left foot when just touching the clutch with your toes.. Standing in front of the left rear tire and looking at those numbers I just mentioned under your left foot heel have the IHC logo above all other numbers. The second line is the casting code.. ( mine is 10-13-Q ) Just to the left of that and slightly below is a dot followed by 'USRC" and another dot.... The lowest line of info is I believe a part mumber and mine is: 351132-R1 I hope I didn't make a typo mistakes...
( Ah.. there are no 'lines' on which numbers are written.. I just used the term line & next line to seperate my info.. ) From my list of all numbers found all around the tractor, I am convinced mine is an early unit being about the 583 one built ( 501 was first number used ) which would be the 2ed or 3ed week of production.. all dates on casting codes vary from about 8 months before to 1 month before assembly on production line.. ( No just-in-time methods back then for parts ) Gotta remember IHC used Rail-road transport a lot and tractors could sit on flat-bed rail cars for a month if need be.. I rode a railroad passenger cars from near Sioux Falls SD to Chicago IL in 1945 and that took a long time and many switches. Didn't think we would ever get there so tractor parts traveled much slower from where made to where tractor was assembled.. Make a list of all casting codes and post it?? Might be interesting to compare to other early C Farmalls... ag. ret.

Today's Featured Article - Pitfalls of Tractor Engine Rebuilds - by Chris Pratt. The first pop after you have put the machine together with your own hands is exciting and pleasing. The whole experience can be marred if one moves too fast and makes too many assumptions that they can just use "as is" some parts they should be closely scrutinizing and possibly attended to. In such cases, rework makes what could have been a fun project turn into an irritant or even a nightmare. Minor Irritants To give you an example of an minor but irritating proble
