John....I have seen two 1948 tractors, that after very close examination,I almost believe,the letter "I" was used in 1947 built 8ns.At first I thought it was an eroded "L" but the "I"was very clear and the other numbers matched.I just don't know for sure because I thought like you.
Serial numbers: Seems like I read somplace that the engines were bench tested before installing and if they passed inspection,they were hand stamped with the serial number.This was to serve two purposes.One to give the tractor a serial number and the other was to insure the engine passed all tests.Any comments please. don b
