Hi I have 2 MF 165's.

Both of the serial numbers on the lower part of the dash do not correspond with any number I can find for identifying year of manufacture.
on another site there is a rundown of the numbers which I have here:

1964: 643000001
1965: 643000481
1966: 643007763
1967: 643014673
1967: 9A1000
1968: 9A39836
1969: 9A63158
1970: 9A87325
1971: 9A107597
1972: 9A128141
1973: 9A152025
1974: 9A179544
1975: 9A207681

But, my numbers don't have the 643 or 9A prefixes on the plates at all and my numbers are both 6 numerals (567782 + 593140) so that should make them around the 75 an onward,
BUT I know for a fact that one of them at least was purchased in 1970 (567782), it was purchased by my family for our farm.

I have attached images of both plates.

I could be reading the numbers incorrectly or have the wrong end of the stick as far as the info on the site, either way, any info helping me sort this one out would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Wayne
 
Not sure where the photos went, will try again.

I was to quick and didn't let the images load fully ;)

I should also add that I am in Western Australia so not sure if that makes any difference to the numbers, and I don't have any idea what the H is for, manufacturing factory or country perhaps?

Regards

G'day Wayne,
The serial number compilation you have listed is for the North American built tractors, where as your numbers are from English assembled machines.
The first number is built somewhere between 1st November 1969 to the 31st October 1970, production date is probably early in 1970.
The 2nd serial number comes in between the 1st of November 1970 & 31st October 1971, around mid 1971.
The "H" in both numbers indicates a heavy duty front axle, rather than standard duty has been fitted in production as well.
Hope this helps, Evan.
