Kelly, not only was the left lift link two pieces on early ones, apparently on some 200-plus units, the threaded section of the link was about one inch longer and a thick nut was threaded on above the yoke. The thread was then shortened and the nut was dropped for a while before being made one piece. I found the date this drawing was changed, but not the serial number. Typically, for a meaningless cost reduction, a serial number break was not needed. I don't know if the nut was ever in the parts book, as I don't have a 1939 version.
