Serial Number will be stamped, not cast under Number 1 injector for later
tractors in the Major range up to 1964. On early tractors it is stamped
on the clutch housing flange behind the starter.
If you are lucky it will be on an aluminum plate on the firewall just
below the bonnet hinge but in later years this was stopped and the plate
used just to say "Ford Motor Company.
Every casting on the tractor will carry a casting date code, this will be
three or four letters and numbers like "A12K" or "3K12" which give the
month, day and year the casting was made. Ford used castings straight
from the foundry so the codes give a fairly accurate date within a week
or so.

I looked around the starter and all over the front of my tractor and the only numbers that appeared stamped I located are c945351. I do have a data plate but it is too worn to read or make a rubbing.
