Hi everyone,
I'm new to the vintage tractor game. I was just given what I believe to be a 1945 case. The ID plate on the dash reads VAO 493371 3. The serial no. on the engine reads VAC 124-30499. So, two questions; is it a model VAO or VAC. and is it actually a 1945. ( year is determined by the first two digits on dash plate minus 4, correct?) It does not have all of the extra sheet metal that the orchard model would have had nor does it look like any was ever there. Did they make an orchard model without the sheet metal farings. I guess that's 3 questions. I appreciate any one out there who can enlighten me.
Thanks, jaybird62
