Yooper: Back almost 10 years ago when I bought my 1948 Farmall C, I searched for the Casting dates on all large cast parts. Most were cast during the Summer and Fall of 1947 with just one item in early 1948. AS I understood, at that time the Farmall B production was stopped about March of 1948 and the replacement Farmall C was started. My serial number shows mine is about the 550th C built. Knowing from my uncle working there, they had 6 work days a week and assuming a steady run untill the 1949s were started, I'd guess mine was built the second week of production with castings that were made many months before. I am sure also from older relitives that much of the heavy iron parts and completed tractors were shipper by railroad system. No interstates highways and 75mph trucks back then. I imagine things changed fairly fast years after WW-2. The go-go 1960s and better highways in the '70s etc. Just in time production methods later on in 80s-90s.. etc.. Late 1940s had the WW-2 mind set yet to stock pile it. Hope this helps you a little..
