The engine serial complicates matters, or makes them clearer. FCM with that serial and R casting number is a 1948 Farmall C engine, the A and SA prefixes are both FAAM. D means it has higher compression 5000 ft altitude pistons in it. S means the torque tube is 1949, for either to match the 1947 chassis serial it would have to be no later than Q. So it appears that the engine and torque tube came from two different tractors. It is still possible that the grill and seat and everything from the torque tube back is 1947 A. You might look for more casting numbers -- anyway your tractor is a hybrid, nothing wrong with that unless you object. I have a 1953 Louisville Super M with what I believe is a 1939 right axle housing, the letter is hard to read. Thus you can disregard what I said in the earlier posts.
