[Farmall] Farmall AV

[Mike Schmudlach]

Bobby,
Something does not jive.
According to IH records the first AV was serial number 48562.  It was built
on
January 10th, 1941.
Tractor serial number  33711 would be a 1940.
All A tractor serial numbers from 501 to 200,001 having matchng serial
numbers and chasis serial numbers.
I wll be talking with Guy Fay in a few minutes and double check the facts.
Mike
