Post the model and serial number, I can look it up for you. Depending on what model it is and where it came from the serial number plate could have been stolen off it. That is getting to be a much too common practice in the restoration business of any brand not just Farmall.

The Farmall Data Book shows the serial number plate on the left hand seat support just ahead of the belt pulley. Your serial number would indicate it being built in 1940. The letters behind the numbers sometimes indiucated certian equipment your tractor was shipped with. Frank. ....

Often from a picture I can hit the vintage close enough to tell you what it might be and where to go for the serial number plate if it hasn't been removed. ....
