From early 1928 until 1953 Case used first a six digit, then a seven digit numbering system. To determine the year of manufacture for a tractor with a six digit number use the following formula. Take the first and the fourth digit, and subtract three to get the year.
For example, the serial number of 395602 would be: 36-3 = 1933.
From around 1938 on Case adopted a seven digit numbering system. To determine the year of manufacture for a seven digit number, pre 1953, take the first two digits and subtract four.
For example, the serial number of 4739020 would be 47-4 = 1943.
In 1953 the serial numbering system was changed again and the numbers were used in blocks. Below is a serial list for those units.
