First of all, thank all of you for your interest and information.
After reading your input, and doing more online research and closer inspection of the tractor, I have come to the following conclusion...
I believe this is a 1951 or 1952 Super A, as evidenced by the casting dates on the transmission (10.16.W), hydraulics case (1.24.U) and tube (10.8.W). It could be a 1952 because of the later casting date on the tube.
The original engine (which would have been a C-113) has been replaced with a later model C-123, as evidenced by the (cast) "C 123" designation to the left of the serial number boss near the number one cylinder plug hole. The engine serial number is 73218 (no prefix). The engine has a water pump.
The engine replacement also explains the spacer between the engine cover and the grill sheet metal (see a previous photo). The original sheet metal over the engine didn't reach to the grill sheet metal after the engine replacement.
I am now on a mission, using the engine serial number, to find out what year this engine was manufactured.
Can anyone help me with that?
I have called a IH/Case dealer and they told me they didn't have engine serial number records.
Thanks again for all your insight and help. I would not have learned as much as I now know without your help.
