Ah, the game continues, good. I took some more pictures tonight (still didn't wash the tractor, sorry), one shows
the carb with the egg(?) shaped, raised identification area (center of picture, cleaned!!) with the date code stamped
in the front, skinny section. Mine shows 7 58, and the carb model number on the rounder part. Also a closer picture
of the date on the right rear axle trumpet, directly below the end of the orange tape, mine shows A292, Jan. 29,1962.
I also have a Franken tractor, mine was a diesel originally and the engine, fuel tank, dash etc. were changed. My
dash is the older 600/601 type, the charge indicator light was used with the 172 ci engine/13 gallon fuel tank with
fuel gauge. You are correct that the round gauges were used through 1964, Ford just changed from 801 to 4000 to
confuse the innocent. I also looked in my Ford Parts Catalog, 1953-1959, the EAE 134 engine block and EAF 172 engine
block have different part numbers but the crankshaft is the same, only difference in crankshafts is diesel or gas. I
would surmise from that specification that there are the same number of main bearings in both engines. I also took
another picture of the rear showing the black plastic box on the fender below the red tool box. I got the box from
Radio Shack and wired it for trailer tail lights and directional lights through the four pin plug and a separate
toggle switch for the rectangular work light on the right fender. I should have put in another flasher for four way
flashing but didn't bother. I also ran wire back on my hyd lift disc with tail/directional lights on the back and an
amber strobe on the left rear corner to warn motorists. Too much time on my hands?
