Jim,

The "X" is probably a casting heat or shift code. An experimental part or 
casting number would read something like "HX XXXXR". In other words, 
experimental parts usually had the experimental part number as a prefix to 
the number,not as a suffix, or just a letter "X" somewhere on the part. A 
random "X" generally does not indicate an experimental part.

I hope everyone had a good Christmas. I have a question concerning my early 
1941 H. On the H161R bearing housing mounted on the left side of the main 
case. This housing supports the bearing for the sliding gear shaft. I 
noticed an X cast into the housing just below and to the right of the H161R. 
Does anyone elses tractor have this X cast into the housing. I haven't found 
any X's on other parts. X usually indicates experimental. The tractor serial 
number is 109XX . I hope to have this tractor operable again in the next few 
weeks.
Thanks,
Jim Showers
