Can one identify original source of C-123 engine?

Posted by djhammerd on February 26, 2014 at 17:23:31 from (173.66.69.90):

I bought a 51 or 52 Super A (as determined by casting dates) a few weeks ago and have been appreciative of the help I've received on this forum in advance of getting the manuals I've ordered (they did arrive a few days ago).

It has a C-123 engine, so it's not all original. The serial number on the engine is 73218 (no prefix or suffix. It has a zenith carburetor.

I was hoping to be able to find out what year the engine was made (and possibly the model of the tractor it came off of), but have not had any luck. I've called a couple dealers, as well as the Case-IH support line. In addition, I've called a couple other recommended sources (sellers) that someone thought might have records... no luck there either.

Am I out of luck?.... Or is there a resource somewhere that would have engine serial numbers by year of manufacture?

Failing all that, are there clues from physical aspects on the engine I can reveal that may give someone information about when it was manufactured?
