There were a lot of running changes over the duration of A/B production. I don't know if any were actually synchronized to the year change from '39 to '40. For that matter, I'm not sure any changes were on the H and M either.

The bell housing was changed on all production in '41, although the starter was evidently available somewhat before that. Electric lights were available from day one. All the castings were set up for battery, light and generator brackets. However field installation required changing the fan hub to accomodate the generator belt. Backfitting a starter onto the early tractors required a bell housing and flywheel.
