this isn't so much a comment, i'm asking help identifying this 310 i just bought. best i can make out of the model no. is o310-w and i believe the serial no. is 6081300 i also found a no. onthe engine block 112N08785 the best i can tell. the engine broke a con rod and the crank needs reground if not welded and reground. any info onwhat this thing is year wise or any info for parts would be greatly appriciated thanks.coke

A picture would help. The serial number would indicate it is a 1958 model.

 

[320B]

I could be wrong because I've only had a tractor for a little while and am still doing research but I thought with the serial numbers it was the first 2 numbers minus 3.When I bought my tractor I was told it was a 58 320,which would make it a 320b but the model number is g-320-w and the serial number is 6087841.Yes the tractor still has the original tags on it.Correct me if I'm wrong because I really want the right info.

It would appear you have a 1957 model. The chart below is based on data from Tom Stonehouse and Eldon Brumbaugh's book "JI Case Agriculture and Construction Equipment 1956-1994. - Joe

Case changed their serial number dating process in 1954 so the old formula of first 2 digits minus 4 no longer works.
