I know this has been on discussion before about casting. The LPG I have, the casting date in front of tranmission has a X after date. The other 3 F 40's I have does not have a letter. Anyone that has a HC, does your tractor have a letter after date? Or does anyone know what it stands for. After reading about the Prototype 45 I was looking my LPG over and had never noticed the X.

Thanks Mickey

Any numbers that are cast into the housings are usually only for the manufacturer and do not answer you queries. They relate to the un-machined casting and any reference numbers that you will be interested in will be stamped into the castings. There are exceptions to that and it is often cylinder heads where they have different ones for High and low compression or Altitude, but not all engines are marked like this, it does vary greatly....John(UK)[email protected]
 
I got told off by someone on the massey forum over foundary casting marks! So be easy on me Mikey!! So here is a couple guesses...
An early LP? Would 'x' be- experimental? Or all blocks were the same? HF just picked one off a pallet to make into an LP?
Or a boring Roman numeral ten?- the benchmark of the fellow that was pouring the castings that day?
Pick your poison. I bet even 15 years ago there would be enough old Continental staffers left to answer all these questions... wonder if there is a Continental website or forum with these retired guys on there?????
How's the weather down there?
 
I have a 1948 TE20 ser# TE 42238,it has a Continental engine,the engine tag says the model is Z120-x. what does the x stand for?
