Farmall Super C

[Tomcat0188]

Hi Folks! I'm a new to the forum. I just acquired a Farmall Super C with no serial number plate. However all the major castings have an
A year code. They are: 5*7*A, 5*19*A, 6*7*A. A is 1955. Can someone tell me what I really have? The engine serial number on the block
is very clear. It is 14385. Thanks in advance for your help!

First, welcome to the forum. Per your casting codes, looks like a second half 1955 tractor which would make it a 200. The last Super C's were 1954. S/N plate for a 200 should be on the left side of clutch housing, I think. Not sure on the engine #.
After you post maybe 5 times you will be able to post up some pictures which may help also. Others will know more.

Thanks!

It has a 200 Style Grill, but no metal emblems. Only Super C decals. They may have changed out the hood. Guy I got it from was sure it was
a 1952 Super C.

If you click on More, on this site, then scroll to serial numbers, and click on what you want to look at, you'll find serial numbers in years for C, super C, 200, etc. Your serial number doesn't jive with being a super C.

Nothing wrong with it being a 200 unless you were set on a C. You are probably right on the hood. They probably interchange but they are different. Does it have the fast hitch?
Couple more posts and we should be able to see it.

Yes Complete fast hitch and even got 3 pieces of equipment with it. Original harrow, plow, and a modified bush hog.

Super C has the serial number on right side of seat box and would be a six digit number. A 200 has serial number on left bell housing and would be a five digit number. If tag is missing, where WAS it located?

Sounds like you are set to go farming. Is the tractor functional?
Enjoy your new toy.

Has a messed up timing gear I have to replace. The guy I got it from replaced the hydro pump and didn't have it seated properly and it
ruined a gear. He tore it down and got the new gear and it sit under his shop for 2 years and he lost interest in it. I'll post pics when I
can.

The metal emblems are expensive. Decals are cheap.

Most likely what happened was a previous owner lost some or all of the metal emblems. Rather than replace the missing emblems they bought a set of decals.

A Super C hood will also fit right on the tractor. 200/230 sheet metal was poor compared to the older tractors, so it could be the 200 hood was destroyed and replaced with a commonly available Super C hood.

Super C hood has the raised ridge along the sides that hooks up to match the ridge on the grille, and the Super C decal goes under the hook. 200 hood has flat sides, and would have holes where the metal emblems (McCormick, Farmall, 200) were attached.
Longknife has the info on where the serial #s were located.

you can see the ridge on the Super Cs in the foreground, vs the 200 in right side.
