Louisville Super Ms VS Rock Island Super M Production #s

I am getting a little "lost" on this subject.

Looking at the serial number charts on here from the column in the left margin and reading some reliable info on production numbers from some highly recommended reading sources from here,something is not quite"jiving" out.(At least in MY head anyway,lol)

I was told there were fewer Super Ms built at the Louisville facilty than Rock Island,but some are saying different.(Here again,NOT trying to say they are the "RAREST of Dogs" by any means)

I DO know that there were VERY few 1954 Super Ms built at all.They quit in Feburary to do ALL SMTAs.It has been said on here that NONE of those 1954s that WERE built were done at Louisville.

Would anyone have ACTUALL production numbers for each year from 1952 to 1954 and each different plant???(Or is that even possible???)
 
I was never able to figure out the production figures enough to say exactly how many.
First louisville SM serial # 500001 was built 5-6-52 and the last one built was serial # 512541 on 7-10-53. As you can see even if all the serial numbers between the start and end number were filled it only comes up to around 1/4 of the total SM tractors built at farmall.
 
As Dave says the Louisville SM's have serials of 500001-512541. Serials at Farmall were 501-52627. You are getting info from people who have no legitimate info.
 
To DSlater and CNKS:

Did they build ALL versions of the Supers(High Crops,diesels,ect) at Both plants,or just Rock Island???
 
No diesels and I don't think any LP or SMV tractors. Not sure about the distillate or kerosene models. Can't remember everything I try to find a answer for. Looked into this in the past and there may be some old posts with the best answers that I could find. I look at serial numbers of every M or SM I see but can't remember now if a distillate or kerosene tractor was noticed.
