Tail seat tractors were not a standard production model, they were built that way using "attachment" options.

The one I'm looking at has a sp on end of serial number, it' a 1941 model. Was just hoping there were more records available. Thanks

My 1940 tailseat has the SP serial# too. My conclusion after discussion with various people is the same as OM's, the tailseats were a dealer or field conversion...

Hard to get a true definition of "SP". Appears it may have started out as a catch all for attachments later to become just internal transmission and final drive parts. Still tail seat tractors never were assigned separate production numbers.

Great info guys. here's my next dumb question. Does anyone have a picture of what the orchard fenders looked like? On this one the brackets are there but nothing else. Thanks again for helping a gray haired widowed lady that's hooked on cats.:usa2:

This one does have the bump in the hood for air. Thanks for the pics, kind of hope this will come home to the litter real soon.

Link to the thread with Wilford the D2...tailseat, not orchard fenders...
I would like to get a pattern for the hood bump sometime, traces of the welds are all that's left where somebody ground it off & put a precleaner above the hood.
