Is This aC serial #????

HI Everyone, was out at a friends house this past weekend, and he took me down the street to show me an old tractor that has been parked out in a field for some time, (at least the two years he has lived there). It is an old IHC of some sort, but with the books and other info that I have, I am not able to positively indentify it, was hoping one of you may be able to help. On the right hand side of the seat platform(sitting on the tractor), there is a serial # tag. All it says is FC 174715J. On the left side of the flywheel housing, there is a metal tag as well, the only stamped # on that is 12842J. There is no other legible writing on that tag at all. The "FC" denotes it as being a model C doesent it?But there are to many digits in the serial # for that to be possible (I think?) According to the books I have, the "C" serial # starts at 501, and the following years have no more than 5 digits in the serial #. This tractor has a wide front end on it , while all of the pictures I have seen of any C's have the narrow, two wheel design. There is an emblem on top of the grill, it says IHC in thick chrome letters. Anyone have any Ideas as to what this might be, or its worth(in california)? It is complete, the tires are all up and in fair shape. Dont know if it runs or not but the engine is free, and there is a cap on the exhaust. The grill and hood are somewhat dented, but look repairable. It has hydraulics and what appears to be the IHC fast hitch. Dont even know if it may be for sale, but I was trying to figure out what is was exactly, and what might be a " ball park " price to offer for it, if it is. Looks like a fun project for later. Thanks for any Ideas.....Tom
