The numbers you have found mean nothing apart from L6Z, they are mould numbers and are the same on most tractors. If there is no number on the engine, try looking behind the starter, on the flange of the engine where it joins the clutch housing. More numbers like the L6Z are important as they will confirm what I am going to say, you do not have a Power Major from that number, it is for a September 6th 1956 Fordson Major. Is your throttle under the steering wheel or down on the right side beside the instrument panel? Do you have a temp. gauge, oil pressure gauge and amp meter on the lower panel? Many things can happen over 60 years and parts were compatible from 1951 to 1964 in certain areas so that is why the casting codes like L6Z are important. Check under the exhaust manifold, just above the dynamo/alternator for another one, also on the cylinder head on the exhaust manifold side. Front axle should have one, so will each trumpet housing and the rear axle. If an L and Z are in them it will definitely be a 1956, if more end in C it will be 1959 and the clutch/gearbox housing will have been replaced at some time.
