    Help dating a Fordson

    I found a casting number on the engine block so I'm going to use that date: 2-14-19

    Help dating a Fordson

    First off, I know I could say "circa 1920s" and it would be adequate, but if possible, I'd like to come closer. This tractor does not have a serial number on the engine block so presumably it was replaced sometime. I'm attaching photos from all around it in hopes I can get at least early 20s...

    Dating a Farmall Regular

    The museum has 3 Farmall Regular tractors. None of them have a plate on the toolbox - only those lonely little rivets.:) I'm confused about the difference between the frame rail number and the QC number on the engine block. I think the frame rail number is the "real" serial number that would...

    Help to date a David Bradley Tri-Trac tractor

    We have a Tri-Trac model 917.59101, serial number 1298. From what little I can find of other people posting SN in the 2000s and being identified as 1954, I'm wondering if this one is from the first year of production in1953? Or maybe an early 1954? Thanks for any help on this.

    Case - what is it?

    I have looked for a SN on the flange, not only on this VA, but all the others we have, and I can see nothing. Today, I did my best to look as high as possible behind the air filter and still saw nothing. I have found flange SN on a model S, and a Model 801-B and they are about mid-way up the...

    Help dating a Long crawler

    Thanks. This helps a lot. I now know for sure I'm looking at the right plate. As the picture shows, it has been rusty and scraped to reveal the numbers so all the other information is gone. It doesn't match the 610 exactly, but this 510 is either 1986 since the top number is 086 or it is 1988...

    Help with Tri-Cycle hi-boy tractors

    The museum has two tri-cycle hi-boy tractors. I have no idea how to begin figuring out what these are and when they were manufactured. I'm submitting one picture of what I call the white one (meaning color not make), and two of the maroon one. I found a serial number and Hagie on the maroon one...

    Help with model & date on Massey Harris tractor

    This is another tractor in the museum collection I need help identifying. On the donation paperwork it says it is a 1953 Mustang with a serial number of GIRF2174. I don't read the plate like that, but I'm not sure I'm reading the right thing. Any help will be appreciated. To me it looks like...

    Help dating a Long crawler

    I've poked around trying to find more information about when this crawler was made. I've not found anything concrete. One person suggested that the 1988 on the engine plate (see the first photo) is the year of manufacture. Could it be that simple? If not, would saying "circa 1980" or "1980s" be...

    Case - what is it?

    I have no idea if it runs, nor do I know enough to even be able to find out. I leave that to other people. It could have come to us in this condition, or it could have been restored here. I have no way to know without more clues. I do know that serial number plates get removed during...

    Help dating a Cat Ten

    According to my research, the Cat 10 was made only between 1928 and 1933, so early 1930s is a good guess, and perhaps as close as I'll get. There are no plates or numbers on the rear of this crawler. I have found out that the donor wants to work on it this winter, so perhaps I'll find out more...

    Case - what is it?

    Better pictures attached if this would help with identifying model & year of this Case. I was lucky - two of the tractors that used to be next to this one have been moved. I have a donation record for a VAI that I can't identify. I was hoping this might be it, but maybe not. Of course, one...
