There are always a lot of serial number and casting code questions and answers on these forums, but I am unclear on how my FMD fits.
The engine serial number puts it as 315th engine built for FMDs. The casting code in the block is A4T. If Z = 1956, then T would equal 1950. Would they have cast the block that many years prior to production of the model? Or maybe they skipped a letter or two?
Thanks.
P.S. To Dandy Dave: I was going to take a picture of the horn bracket on my running and parts/spares FMDs, but I mowed over my digital camera (oops) and have yet to replace it, stupid John Deere lawn tractor!
