If this was posted earlier, I missed the details. But, if the tag is missing there is no way to get an exact serial number. Close, maybe, but there may be another SH with that number. If the serial numbers go by the calendar year (there is some question about that), you cannot have a 53 serial with 54 castings. If the numbers follow IH's fiscal year, you can have 54 serial with 53 castings. Far as I know there is currently no way to determine the build date from casting numbers. Castings usually sat around for days, weeks, or months before being used. Guy Fay, Ken Updike, Jim Becker, possibly others may know where to look in the Wisconsin Historical Archives for that information, as build dates have been traced to serial numbers -- but, you have to have the right serial. However if you are SURE it is in a certain range, you "may" be able to determine the month. That said, Stage 2's were built in Oct, Nov, and Dec, of 1953, not sure about the Oct part, just an estimate. Your hangup is the Z castings.
