I can answer about Stage I and Stage II Farmall H and Farmall M tractors. (if that is not your topic, ignore this) In 1953 Farmall tractor design was in transition to modern practices. The use of existing inventory and good economic practice meant that the changeover to Live Hydraulics (one of the things) happened in mid 53. There were tractors built in the last of 52 that had some of the features of the Stage I Supers, like disk brakes.

Positions of battery boxes, the discontinuance of the belly pump and inclusion of the Live distributor drive based live Hydraulics, and other components were mid year changes. (Stage II) The big change then hit the dealerships in 54, with the introduction of SMTA. Then in 55 the introduction of the X00 series of Farmalls and Utility Internationals with TAs and Live Hydro and different sheet metal. THis is not an extreme rendition of the changes, it is more of an overview. Guy Fey's Book on Originality does a better job. Jim
