Hello to all, brand new and need help!

[Oldironrocks1959]

So I just bought this beauty and need help with year identification, got a couple pics to show, can not locate the so called plate with model and serial # as of yet. Any help would be a great start for this project. Thanks

Looks like a Farmall A, the number is on the seat frame, on the gearshift side. As viewed if you were getting on.

Welcome to the Forum. Here's some info on A & B & SA id from the parts manual. Stan

It's definitely not a Cub, but looks like a fun project regardless.

more than likely you will find that the tags on A/SA have been knocked off . i have one of each and neither has the tag on the seat frame where it sposed to be!

.......more than likely you will find that the tags on A/SA have been knocked off...............

If you can't locate the ID tag, try to find the engine SN, should be stamped on a boss on the right side of the engine (I think it's near the top of the block, close to tyhe head). Also look for the casting codes on the major castings which will give you the day/month/year that they were made. JMHO Stan

There is a very faint A on the right side of the hood towards the front, probably one on left also just can't see it.

I will look when I get it home this weekend.

I have to degrease the tractor, after that I'll be able to see more tell tale signs. Thank you

Not a cub? Thought it was, but I'm new to these tractors. Side of hood where the tin curls I can see an A

It is not a Cub. It is an A, not a Super A. The A is substantially more powerful than a Cub. The A was built from 1939 through 1947. From what can be seen in your pictures, I would guess it is from some time in the latter half of the production run. It looks like it has some parts of the Pneumatic Lift-All still in place (hard to tell from these pictures).

i agree with Jim 100 per cent on the A

More info about Serial Numbers from the Owners Manual/Parts Manual. Look near #1 spark plug (sorry for the orientation, posting flipped the picture.) Stan
