actually i knew neighbour had this tractor was in there for about 20 years. stopped in couple days ago and bought it . his wife's father bought it new here in town in 1953.
it is the 64th tractor from the end of production before the super's came out. it has most of the super upgrades like the front hubs, the newer lights, disc brakes, solenoid on the starter, steel belt pulley. not sure if it has the bigger 164cid. sleeves like the super's have. the engine was just overhauled before parking. pretty much zero hrs. on it. didnt take much to get it running. took it for a spin to water cows this morning. have to open dugout everyday for them.

Sweet! I especially like the photo with cattails in the background - a calendar quality shot for sure!

If your tractor has the larger, Super engine you will find the letters "C164" cast prominently onto the right side of the block above the oil filter.
 
Good find ! Dad has a super w4 we semi restored. Those are nice looking tractors. Love the big ol fenders!
 
I bought some pulleys on a auction sale, put them in the trunk of the old car, now i cant get the trunk open, with out taking the back seat out ect !!

(quoted from post at 06:15:42 01/31/17) Being that close to the end of production, does it have disc brakes?

Read the original post. :wink:

Said to myself, "Self, better go re-read the post so you don't look stupid." I did. Three times total. Missed it all three times.

Self, you're an idiot.

Don't worry. I reread it before I said anything. :lol: Just in case you wondered, it was all in jest.
