Lanse gave the serial numbers for the 1945-51 Fordson E27N Major. DIESEL MAJOR 1952-1960 serial numbers:- start number each year 1952-1217101 1953-1247381 1954-1276857 1955-1322525 1956-1371418 1957-1412409 1958-1458381 1959-1494448 1960-1538065 The serial number used by Ford was the engine number which can be found on small tin plate on engine side of battery firewall. The engine number will be stamped into a small flat block on the left rear side of engine by the starter motor up to March 1956; and on front right of cylinder block after March 1956. Engines did get changed in service, so the engine serial number may not be the same as the actual tractor number. Only way to date tractor is by casting codes on engine block, gearbox, rear axle. These are raised numbers and usually very similar to each other because the castings were used quickly. H28C = June 28th 1959 & J8C = July 8th 1959. So based on these numbers your tractor would be built in early July 1959. The E1ADKN & E1ADDN are the starting letters of the Fordson Major parts for example E1ADKN-5230-A is the exhaust muffler. Hope this helps you. David
