Tractor id

Can anyone help me id this. The plate says fc but the decals say farmal cub

That is a "C" an early one by the s/n. I've seen several tractors with the incorrect model decals over the years. Overall looks like a decent machine.

What you have is a Farmall C. The tractor is way too big to be a Cub.

That is a C. The first one built was #501 in 1948. The first one built in 1949 was #22624. You have an old one, but looking good. Rear tires should be something like 9.5-36, and the front 5:00-15.

Thanks I thought the Cub stickers were not quite right. Picked it up at an auction in CA runs pretty good. Is the cultivator a 200 series?

Your main frames are C-254 A cultivators. The tool bars are modified for vegetable cultivation. The front tires look to be oversized probably for high flotation in soft soil. Look at the motor and verify if it is overhead valve or flat head. Some folks think I am crazy to ask but I saw a flat head C owned by a near kin. Check out the link to see a good picture of the cultivator.

It would help if the picture was right side up instead of having to turn the computer upside down

What flat head engine did they use

Its an early C with wide front and the hard to find veggie cult could do rows 15 on center on up to 6-15 or any combination in between. Those cults are hard to find. They also had them for the A,SA,SAV,B,and BN. I have two of them for the A. Many types of shovels were also available along with disc hillers. I also have the 4 row fert attchment for the A. Holders for the rectangle shaped shanks are even harder to find. Yours need a restoration for showing. Last cult like yours brought 450.00 and went from Calif to Ohio on ebay. They also had a model for the Cub that did multiple rows.
