From Bryan Smiths website at Clemson, you have a 1948 engine. You may have an IB, with a replaced transmission case. How is the seat mounted? On a solid bar, or a series of leaf springs linked together? Here is the Engine Casting number info B / C / CA Engine Castings and Year Manufactured Home Here's something posted by Steve on the Yesterday's Tractors AC discussion board (posted on 1/20/02) that might help identify a tractor year if the serial number on the transmission is missing. This gives the year of manufacture of the engine - some tractors may have been assembled and given tractor serial numbers the following year, but at least this will get you in the ballpark for the year of your tractor. Edited slightly for clarity: If you are sure there is no number stamped (and covered by paint), then the transmission failed in years past and was changed out with a new unit which had no number. If this is the case you can look at the engine behind the distributor for a casting number. It should be a cast number in the form of AM2916 - xx . The two digits at the end will tell you the approx year manufactured. 1938 is 10, 1939 is 11, etc, 1958 would be 30. 10 - 1938 17 - 1945 24 - 1952 11 - 1039 18 - 1946 25 - 1953 12 - 1940 19 - 1947 26 - 1954 13 - 1941 20 - 1948 27 - 1955 14 - 1942 21 - 1949 28 - 1956 15 - 1943 22 - 1950 29 - 1957 16 - 1944 23 - 1951 30 - 1958
