If you are wanting to know what it is, It looks like A 1949 to1953
model 77. The grill does't look wide enough and the rear tires
don't look wide enough to be a 88 . The engine looks like a 6 cylinder, if it is a 4 cylinder. then it would be a 66. I'am not sure but I think that they started making the supper series in 1954.
I do know my dad purchased the first Supper 55 that our dealer got in and that was in 1954. It is newer than a 1951 because my 1951 has the serial # tag on the tranny housing on the right
side in front of the brake housing

Looks like a 77 to me. Typical California cultivator tractor. Are you in California, looks a bit like the dez.

Close, Arizona, Phoenix area.

Which way frpm Phoenix? The tractor has disk brakes. Take the thermostat housing off and there will be a date stamped in that area when the head was machined. It is later than july or August of 52.It is a Fleetline 77.

Yeah, I was kind of looking for an Id on it, but I didn't give much info, as I had already done so in a post lower on the page. Yes, 6 cyl, 13.6-38. General consensus is its a 77, but how/what defines a 77 from a Super 77? (this one has the block castings:185220 and M100; head M1800) Also, did the engine have a serial number?

West. Nearest city is Surprise. Thanks for the info on where to find a secondary identification.

Just wonder how you date it to July or August 52 John? The first one serial numbered as a 52 had disc brakes. Later 51 88s had disc brakes,mid 52 on,66s had disc brakes. Is there some other way to tell?

As far as the posters question how to tell a Fleetline from a Super,no flat mounting pads on the frame.

Definately a later 77 though,can tell it's a 77 not an 88 by the grille.

It is not a super, a super has flat areas above the pipe holes
on each side of the frame and a flat area on the front. All of
the flat areas have threaded holes. This change was made to
the supers to allow the mounting of the new style cultivator.
I would say that your tractor was a late model since it has disc
brakes.

The previous Owner had already removed the valve cover and thermostat housing, so I was able to look at the head today. It is stamped with a large 2 under the valve cover gasket, and 1953 smaller after, and then an unrecognizable character, possibly an M, or a 3. So, Feb of 1953?
