Hi Folks
I have poked around some with no success. Can anyone point me to a guide for casting numbers. I bought a supposedly 1939 Farmall B this weekend with a Super A tag on the seat support. I need to ID this baby. Thanks in advance.

This helps some. For years prior to '47 just keep going backwards down the alphabet. '39 would be I, '40 J, etc.

The chart goes back to a 47 as Q in the last digit. Going backwards to the letter O that I have in the third spot looks like I have a Dec 45 motor. Would that be a 46 Tractor ?


Thanks Again.

Most likely. Especially if it was late Dec.
