I'm not sure if this is allowed but I'm going to try. I can't figure out how to post on here to get help but here's my story: I bought two tractors that are in very bad shape; a Farmall Super C & another one. Except the other one, I'm not sure what it is. It's so rusted that we can't read the tag on it. But I have all the casting numbers written down on what I think they say. This tractor looks just like the Super C, except where the emblem would be on the Super C would be, it indents like on a 200. We've figured out that this tractor was an industrial because of the color on it. I'm going to give you some of the numbers I have found on the tractor: Engine: firing order is 1-3-4-2 and the block number is C-123. below that was the number: 366204 R1.
I would really apreciate if you would get back to me so I can start repairing! Thank you!
 
For not being able to post, you certainly have posted. So far under two separate accounts.

As far as the tractor, yellow paint does not necessarily make it "industrial," just as green paint does not make it a John Deere. People painted tractors all sorts of wacky colors for various reasons, and this tractor is around 60 years old. A lot can happen in 60 years.

Pictures would help. You can upload your pictures in the "help identify" section of the galleries on this site if you don't have a membership on an external photo hosting site. You cannot post pictures directly to the forums here.

My best guess on the tractor is that if it looks like a Super C and has indents in the hood like a 200, then it is probably a 200. It might be a 230 as well, but most 230's came with a different hydraulic unit under the gas tank that did not have any cultivator lift arms.
 
here it is if I remember how

That color looks like the greenish yellow that Chisholm-Ryder used. The tractor probably started life with one of their bean pickers mounted on it. CR used tractors with Touch-Control (as this tractor has). It could be a 200 or 230, my guess is 230. Some date codes on various parts would probably tell you which.

Date codes have been discussed in the past. You can probably do a search for "date code" and find an explanation.
 
I'm not an expert on parts yet since I'm only 16 & my boyfriend and his dad are helping me repair it but I have most of the numbers written down. I think they are right, but the numbers were hard to make out:
Back left axle: 351497R4 and below said 6 29 E and obviously the other side ended with 8 before the R4
Brake: 365988R2
Clutch: 855988R2
Alternator: 6340-DA those are the ones I'm certain about.
 
6 29 E would indicate June 29, 1959. Hmm. Too late for a 200 or 230.

Can you see if you can find some other date codes? The rear axles could be transplanted from a newer 240 tractor.

It looks like a 200 or 230. With the touch control it is more likely a 200, though. The 230 only had touch control if it was special ordered that way.
