I am looking at buying a 1040? case LA, my problem is with the serial number on the tag on the tool box. Since it has a 3/71 GMC engine in it I can't verify the ser. # The serial number on the tool box is 4407176 LA
My book Full Steam Ahead has the following.

last Case LI--4406628
1st Case LA--4470201

This tractor is right in between these, is my book wrong or is there something wrong with the number on the tractor. The tag looks like it is in original condition and in good shape. It does say LA on it. Well thats my story and I'm sticking to it so if you can help I would appreciate it.

Thanks for the info I guess the book is wrong about 4470201 being the first LA.

Since the Case LA 4407176 is just about 80 miles south of Portland right now I guess it stayed in the area for over 60 years. This must be one of the very first LAs are there any built beofre it and hown many.

According to the same book - page 248 - the first LA was No 4407021. Your number comes from the appendices pages - page 335. Here they seem to have switched some of the numbers. Ole B.

Thanks Ole I had the info right at my finger tips and didn't know it. I just got this book in July and haven't had the time to devour it. My tractor would be the 155 one off the line. I hope to get it soon it should be quite a power house with that 3/71 GMC in it.
