Your tractor's Serial Number wouldn't happen to be close to 147181 would it?

The serial number I listed was recorded as an "Export Tractor" in the IH archives. I believe the tractors were built as exports in batches, and was wondering if yours fell close to one already identified.
Your number happens to fall close to another that is of some interest. On Cub SN 142635, the engine has "SPECIAL" cast into it in raised letters on the left side. Does yours happen to have the same "SPECIAL" casting on it as well? Cub SN 142635 has engine SN 144853 installed in it.
If you click on the link in my signature line, and then click on the FCub Database link, you can scroll through the records to see how your tractors numbers aligns with others of the same era. There is also a bunch of information in there about changes that happened along the way throughout production.

Len,
I would be interested with it being only 3 digits away from mine... which has the "SPECIAL" casting. The word "SPECIAL" is inverted behind the hydro lines, below the Carb area, here is a picture of mine:

Haven't been able to find out more about it, so at this point I guess it means we have the two known to exist :wink:
