help identify!!

[blacksheep1875]

May be making a trade for a MH. Was told it was was a 44 special. Only numbers I can find are MFC140G35305. Any help in identifying this would be much appreciated!! Thanks. Sorry for the picture quality.....it was taken by a camera phone.

The serial # should be on the rear left side of the frame forward of the trans. case as your setting in the drivers seat.I'm not sure of the difference between the Special and the Standard.

It kinda looks like a 101 junior to me. I think that number designates a 140 continental engine, which would be right for an early 101 jr.

101 Jr came with a flathead engine. This looks more like a Mustang. Or a 22. The only way to tell for sure is do as Mike Broom suggests, and find the serial number that is stamped on top of the casting.

It's not a 44 or 44 special. With a 140 engins it looks more like a 22

Looks like a Mustang to me with the curved gear shift lever. Also looks like it has 28 inch rear wheels. Sometimes called Model 23

Based on what I see, it's a Mustang. If you look at the stamped number on the top of the transmission case, it should start with a "23", which is the number designation of the Mustang. Your hood doesn't have the hinges along the edges for the 22's side panels. The Mustang's side panels bolted on and were not hinged. It looks like the right side panel has been cut off near the gas tank. Those little panels that cover the gap between the rear of the side panel and the gauge panel are only used on Mustang and Colt tractors. It's not a Colt because you mention it has the F140 engine. The gauge panel is also Mustang style, because the 22's gauge panel covers the battery tray.

It's also not a 20 or 81 because it has the late style grille. The earlier tractors had sort of triangular shaped bars. And finally, it's definitely not a 101 Jr. The 101's had a cast frame and your tractor has the light weight steel channel frame.

Hope this helps.

could it be a 21 with a diff. eng. My 21 has a exhaust that turns down on the right side and goes under the tractor. No hole in the hood for exhaust. I am not saying that mine is right or factory.

It is definitely a Mustang MODEL 23 built from 1952-56.
