Hi Brett,
Mike is spot on with the B22A and B25A being Feb 1957. The front axle codes don't seem to conform to any date code format but you could probably guess 15 Feb 1957. The engine block code is post 1963 format and comes up as 3rd April 1964 according to my lists. I can't comment on the serial number as my list stops at 1952.
To me it looks like the engine has been replaced, but the rest of the tractor is original. I am only new at this date code thing so if I have stuffed it up please yell loud and long.
Regards, Frank.
