Serial numbers?

[Kent Greentree]

Hi I'm new at this computer forum thing so excuse me if I don't have the prodocall down.

My name is Kent.

I have a what I think is a cub but upon finding what I think are the serial numbers down on the front of the block, on the right hand side, by the strearing box I find 8 27 P. I know that in 47 they started with the Letter Q in to signify the year.

Do I then have a predisessor of the cub perhaps built in 46?

I hope some one can set me straight on this or direct me as to where the actual serial numbers is.

Thanks

Go here,

to determine your serial number and year of manufacture of your Cub.

Could be that what you think is a "P" is really an "R". Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between similar numbers and letters with layers of paint and/or rust over them.

Good luck!

If your tractor has the engine/transmission offset to the left as with the Cub, you have a Farmall A. The A is one size larger as well as being a bit older. You should find a serial number tag riveted to the left seat support.

Here is an A.
