That’s great, I’ll try and find some more casting codes tomorrow. It has pressed steel wheels would they be fitting for its age and what colour should they be? Sorry for all the questions it’s my first tractor and a bit of a rolling restoration.

The plot thickens. I’ve just cleaned the front right corner of the engine and found S320028 engraved. Would I be correct in assuming this is a replacement industrial engine? Does this number agree with the casting number?

Thankyou for the links. Does that make my engine a April 1963 build date?

I’m having a few issues getting a date on the engine of my SuperMajor. I can’t seem to find the serial number anywhere (the aluminium bulkhead plaque is missing. I have found a casting code on the left hand side front of the block which reads 3d29. Can the engine be dated off this alone? Many thanks...
