A few years ago I went on a antique tractor purchasing spree. I purchased 10 with the intent of refurbing them and reselling as a small income source during retirement. About a year ago I finally got around to starting and recently completed a 1948 model B John Deere and have sold that. Now I'm on to what was sold to me as a 1953 Farmall Super M.
Well, that may not have been the entire story. It turns out that the Model/Serial tag reads SM D with serial # F-36665 J. So, it looks like at least the clutch housing is from a diesel? (that casting is marked with what I believe is a code "Y".)
I have found what appears to be 4 different casting codes, F, I, L, and Y on various casings. "F" on rear axel housings, air filter/front tank mount, right wheel, and the bolster. The "I" appears on the water pump housing. The "L" is on the transmission cover and the pulley gear housing. And the "Y" is on the transmissions casting, clutch housing, and the left wheel.
The Engine numbers are W KM19516 W1.
Question; what in the world do I have??? I am not new to mechanics but very new to this refurbishing game. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
