serial and model numbers

Ted Neis · Aug 28, 2009

I have a number of restored tractors but recently I bought two Fords one I think is a 1955 850 it has a 800 Logo on the front of the hood. but I cant find a serial or model number anywhere. The other I beleive is a 3550 TLB 3 cylinder diesel same problem I can"t find any model or sn. I think I am going blind. They both (Tractors) were covered in grease and I am steam cleaning them. I have never had a problem finding these numbers on other tractors. Help!!!!!!!! I need an old Ford Guy to get me on the right track.

The 800 series one has both the model number and serial number on the left side just under the battery on a flat spot there. Model number will be on top and serial number under it. Of course years of grease and dirt make them hard to see and they are hand stamped so don't get to crazy when you clean that area or you can clean them right off. My self I use carb cleaner and a rag

The others are correct. SN is hand stamped on the flat spot on the bell housing just aft and above the starter. Starters are on opposite sides from the 4 cyl to the 3 cyl but the SN is in the same place.
