Thanks everyone for the kind comments and the help! No buyers remorse on this tractor, it is a cutie and a lot of fun to drive around. Plus it actually can do a fair amount of work as it pulls like a son of a gun. Guy who sold it to me was a puller and he gave me a great demo. I found that cast number on the engine. I don't see a stamped number like would be found on an "N" Ford but I did find a raised number backwords from the distributor. It did not, unfortunately, start with FAB! The number is 8(or 6)342BH. If anybody knows a way to trace this to a specific year or model I would be grateful for the info.
There is only one other number on the block and it is lower down on the same side. That number would be -5-2-0-, just replace the dashes with raised bumps like screw heads (only not). Other than that, only the firing order is there. The aftermarket seat is history as soon as I can get a replacement. Lights, battery box, breather, etc are all on the list. It will get used in the hayfield for light stuff but that was just and excuse to buy it. My nine year old daughter has been in love with these since she first saw one so she and I are going to putter around with it.
Girls don't always like engine work but they sure get into the bumping and painting. If anyone has any info on those numbers give me a holler. I am moonlighting doing hayrides at a local park and will be back tonight. Thanks again for all the info!
