I HAVE A 52 8N I BOUGHT A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO FROM A LOCAL TRACTOR DEALOR. THE SERIAL NUMBER ON THE BLOCK IS OFF. THE ENGINE IM SURE HAS BEEN REDONE. IS THERE ANYWHERE ELSE I DOULD FIND THIS NUMBER????

When you say the serial number is "off" it sounds to me as if you might be expecting a metal tag or label displaying the s/n. If you're looking for that, you won't find it, and you could easily overlook the serial numbers that can are stamped(sometimes barely) into the block and can easily become filled with paint, grease, and/or grime. Merely rebuilding the engine wouldn't damage or remove the serial number, but an exchanged engine would, of course, give you a non-original s/n.

Make sure the serial number really is missing by cleaning it. Use paint remover and an old toothbrush if you have to. A lot of them are hard to read, but they're usually there, under lots of foreign stuff.

No. If you are trying to determine the age of the tractor you can get somewhere in the neighborhood by decoding the date codes that are cast into various parts of the tractor. The easiest to decode is the one on the hydraulic reservoir cover (under the tractor) next to the drain plug. Take a rag, some degreaser and a flashlight with you when you crawl under there. It's usually stamped in standard date formate (mm-dd-yy). That's supposedly the date the aluminum cover was made. Other date codes are usually on the axle trumpets on the forward facing surface, sometimes upside down. They are a little trickier to decode. My 850 also has a date code on the brass tag on the Marvel Schebler carb and also on the top of the radiator, but I don't know if dates were stamped in those locations on the 8N. Good luck.
