I have a copy of the serial list.  just reply with the complete serial 
number (prefix & suffix if present).   The list is in the IH/McCormick 
Deering Engines book by Alan King.   All the serial lists I have seen 
exclude the 1905 serials (I own an 05), and go as high as 1917 depending 
on the type of engine (denoted by prefix/suffix)
