What year was a model L produced whose serial number is L314943 ? Case serial numbers have always been confusing to me. Thanks for your help.

Confusing as compared to what? For many years, it was easy to tell the year of a tractor by the serial # without having to go to a book or the internet. I don't know if there was another one that could say that. Just one simple rule to remember.

If one is new to Case it is confusing. like early L's six numbers later seven. on six 1st and third sub. 3 and seven first two sub 4. If thats not confusing WHAT IS????? AND IN LATE MODEL'S YOU HAVE TO HAVE A BOOK..... I had a old Case Mecanhic try to tell me my 29L was in the thirty's and that I didn't have all the numbers.

The formual is real simple.

With a six digit serial number take the first and fourth digit together and subtract 3.

With a seven digit serial number begining with 42 or higher take the first two digits and subtract 4. Seven digits begining with 41 or less use the six digit formula.

I believe it works on all everything from 29 on through the Flambeaus.

Well, all I know is that you can't look at a Farmall or Massey Harris serial # (for instance) and know what year it is without looking it up somewhere unless you have those #s memorized somehow.

1st digit and 4th digit --39 subtract 3 = 1936
