I have found an old Fordson in an abandoned railyard. It has train type wheels all around, large on the back and smaller ones on the front. I was told it was used to move cars around the yard. It looks to be a late '20s or early '30s. It has a cast iron radiator cover. Where do I look for a serial number? Could it be worth restoring if it's mostly complete?

Serial number is located on manifold side of engine block between first and second ports (exhaust and intake) #'s up to 747681 american made between 1917 and 1928, between 747682 and 776065 made in Cork Ireland 1929 thru 1931, after this number made in Dagenham England. There is a good chance this # will not be readable as alot of them rusted away. Then you have to date the tractors by features. I feel fordsons are always worth trying to restore if not too bad. Being something odd like a rail tug makes it even more apealing (if you have a place to run it) Good luck with this tractor. If you need any more info I'd be glad to help. -Steve Welker

There seem to be a lot of questions asked about serial number locations. I've searched the email discussions on this site but can't find an answer to this mystery: my father is restoring a Fordson which by its features was built between 1918 and 1927, but the serial number is on the manifold itself (not on the block close to the manifold). What is the significance of this? The number is not fully discernible, so we are uncertain of the year of manufacture: does the unusual location of the serial number give a clue?
