J.R. Hobbs has covered this brass-tag thing at least once that I've seen, and his contention is that it doesn't affect the value of the tractor one bit. Of course that is his opinion, just like we have ours. Mine happens to agree with his. I just worked on a 4430 that had a brass serial number tag, and I don't think it would bring one more dime than another just like it with a different tag. Sure, it's a newer tractor and not an "antique", but it is a brass-tag after all, so it should be worth more? I don't think so. It's just a plate with numbers on it after all, and seeing how easy it is to steal and swap the darn things, it really becomes less of an issue to value. My main point is that these are machines built decades ago, and other than a few very rare cases, no one knows for sure how many of any are left. And we're not really dealing with lots and lots of potential buyers. For something like a plain old "A", yes. For something rare like your 330 or a hi-crop "G", no. Because of the perceived "value" of those things, the list of people able and willing to afford them is small. I don't put much stock in tags, as you can tell. I bought my '48 "G" because I wanted a "G" and the price was right, not because it had a readable tag. The features it has easily identify it as to what era in "G" production it came from. The only thing that differentiates it from the others is it's tag, but what does that really mean? Heck, for all I know, it could have had a broken main case way back when and could have been rebuilt using a case from another tractor.

Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
