Tractor serial numbers

[todd hagan]

I have a 400 farmall and I was wondering if the
number on the bell housing tag is supposed to match
the number on the tractor. Bellhousing# 37999 motor#
69690

Most tractor companies and I believe IH was among them didn"t have numbers matching on the tractors.

The reason given is that the engines used were also made in slightly different configurations that weren"t installed in tractors. These engines were close enough to be consecutive off their own line though.
