farmall smd

[bear]

the tag on this tractor shows the serial number as f305935 and the model as smd
any of the serial number listing i have for a smd start out with 50 does anyone know anything about this. pevious owner said it is a 1950 were they making the supers then

HI Bear, that number isn't showing up in my serial# lists at all. According to my book, Super MDs didn't show up until 1952, and the serial# prefix on the chassis tag should be SMD or SMDL (the L would mean it was built at the Louisville Kentucky plant) The Farmall works SMDs would start at serial#501, and the Louisville tractors at 500001. Plain (non-super) Ms only went to 298218. Any chance that the tag was mis-read or doctored??

i'll have another look maybe try to see if i can get a pic of the tag got an auction to go to this morning so it may not happen today. thanks for the reply

[bear]

doesn't look like the tag was doctored

[bear]

must have lost some clarity in the upload the number is definatly F- 30593 J

OK, serial# makes it a '53 Farmall works tractor (Chicago). The J I think means it has an "Auburn" brand clutch. I'll have to check that a little further.
