Ih 1466 serial number

A more permanent method was needed. International Harvester IH added serial number tags to their tractors starting in the s to help identify the model it was and the number of its production. If changes or improvements were made to a machine, the use of a serial number would allow IH to note the change in the production run. This was especially helpful to the dealer when looking up service parts to know exactly what parts may be needed for a repair. Typically the serial number tags were made of a rustproof non-corroding metal like aluminum or anodized steel.

IH did this to ensure that the tag would last for the expected lifetime of the machine. IH affixed the tag to a location on the machine that would be free from normal wear or damage from an attachment. A very common placement of the tag was on the clutch housing of the transmission. IH started using this location for the serial number plate in the late s and continued it until the mids. There are of course exceptions to this and the exact location of the tractors serial number tag is always shown the in the tractors operators manual.

IH did NOT offer replacement serial tags even if they were listed in the repair parts catalog. Counterfeiting and misrepresentation could be widespread if this happened. Over the years, the physical size of IH serial number tags has shrunk, while the data they carry has grown. Early tags from the s indicated the tractor model, serial number, and the rated rpm of the engine. The tags have a black anodized finish to them that is reasonably weather-resistant and not easily removed. IH had a finish like this applied to the tag so that it would be legible for the machines expected service life.

For this example we will use the tag from the final Farmall-built tractor. This tractor is an IH Translated, the Kind is , the Code is , The U represents United States Country of Manufacture and the is the actual serial number of the machine. The Kind Code serial number was not invented by IH.

International Md. International Mdv. Would that make any difference? I don't know why IH put those dang numbers way down under the tractor in the first place, forcing us to crawl down low under the tractor??? Those Rum-Dums! Thanks IH. It appears that the 56 series was the last to be listed as Farmall's and International's As has been stated on other post the full coverage wheatland fenders were available for the 66 series. But if you look at a 66 series wheatie it does not have a set back fron axle.

In checking my owners manual for a International , Which wears the Farmall badge. Under optional equipment it list the wide full coverage fenders.

It's so late the serial number doesn't even go that high! I revisited the tractor today Sunday the 22nd and have rechecked the serial number. The number I originally asked for help here on was the ENGINE serial number, and even then I screwed that up on here by placing one too many digits here.
