New project, Farmall A

Hello, all.

Here is my new project, my Dad's Farmall A that I inherited yesterday. He bought it when I was 13, I'm now 39. It's how I learned to drive.
I'm going to assume that someone stuck a B front end on it at some point in time before he bought it, as every A I've seen has the wide front end. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

It's hard to see in your pics, but I'm pretty sure you've got a BN, as the left axle and final drive look wider than that of an A. Someone probably replaced the seat bracket with one from an A- happens a lot, as some folks seem to have felt it was easier when a seat spring broke to replace the whole bracket. Probably happened for other reasons too- tractor was rolled, tree fell on it, etc.
 
I cannot remember what side but on the engine up front just below the head is the tractor serial number which will match the number that would have been on the tag. By the way the B and BN had trike fronts and the A wide fronts. The BN is a tad bit wider then the A. That all said I do have a BA which is the front half of a B and the back half of an A. I built it out of 3 parts tractor and built it so I could mount an A-16 sickle bar mower which I also had laying around. Makes a good little hay mowing machine
 
Again, hard to see from the picture, but it appears that your PTO is the style used up through serial 66670. If the PTO and engine are from the same tractor, your engine number should be 66670 or less.
 
You dont have an A the drawbar and left fender are not from an A. Look at the serial# under #1 spark plug
seat bracket mite have been changed or else someone did lots of changing from an A to make it a BN
 
From what I see, I agree with you Gene. It may be a BN or a made up BN. I have heard you can a make a BN from an A by installing a BN axle on the left side and a B front end.
