Yes my tractor has cast iron frame, Hand fly wheel start. six-speed transmission. it has been sitting in garage for years waiting to get parts, right now I am getting parts for it, dont have picture yet. I took over this tractor when I was age 13, dad was about to send it to junk yard I did't let him at last it's still there, he been saying to get way of it and I just let it sit.

Are you looking for the unstyled tractors that where made styled? When Deere came out with the styled A on Aug. 1, 1938 as a 39 model. The unstyleds that where in stock where converted to styled. That batch is:

477500-477600
477900-477999
478200-478472

For a total of 472 unstled tractors that where made into styled.

Your tractor is a "war" 1944 tractor. You should have a cast iron frame on it.

Hope this is what you where looking for.

1938 was the last year of the unstyled. They made the "A" two years styled with the 4-speed transmission and most of them were flywheel start although the electric-start was an option. Then 1941-1947 were the six-speed transmission with the electric-option known as the long hood or slant-dash. The early "A's" from 1939-1940 had the unstyled engine but were styled. Hope this helps!

Both JDman and Frank are close to right. How can that be?. The A and B were tested in styled sheet metal in mid April 1938. The A rolled off the assembly line as a styled tractor Aug 1 1938 as a 1939 model. The B a little later as it was recieving mechanical upgrades as the A didn't. If your A is a straight Model A, it should be a 41 model year. 1940 the cubic inch displacement was increased from 309 to 321. By 1941 the rubber tired model A's had two stick 6 speed transmissions. Hood lettering went from silk screen to black bordered decals. Electric start was an option until 1947.

I think it was '39 ? I could be wrong there, but it was around then.
