1953   108645 - 125958   Jubilee

1954   125959 - 140000

These are the Ferguson serial numbers. 

My tractor serial number is on the rivited plate on the dash is 14843 (1950 
when they made 14660 - 39162). The one on the side is the engine number. My 
engine number is 115452. This shows me to be 1950,  I believe .

 I was inquiring about the upper arm plunger yoke.  If you get it to move by 
adjusting the one handle on the quantrant.   I"m having trouble with my 
automatic draft control.This is what the factory recommends:

Every six months, the control spring adjusting yoke should be removed and the 
threaded portion of the plunger lubricated to prevent the yoke and plunger to 
freeze together.  Failure to do this may result in damage to the forks as 
excessive force will be necessary to free the yoke for adjustment.  Also there is 
a possibility on TE and TO-20 tractors of the vertical fork coming unhooked 
from the control valve cross member.

With a two-bottom plow in the raised position, check to see whether you can 
just turn the spring with your thumb and forefinger.  Adjustment is obtained by 
screwing the yoke in or out of the spring.  An ideal setting results when the 
spring is free to turn, yet has no end play and will not bind. I'm wanting to 
know how far the plunger will come out of the cylinder. thanks please get
