Model 10 Crawler Serial Number

Check on the machined boss on the side of the radiator where the lights would mount. Some are stamped there.

Thank you for the information. I will double check that area. The only thing I found were the letters HB. I will have to try and upload several pictures.

Check the left side of the engine block flat area where generator would mount. Approximately 2” x 3”
Flat with three holes threaded in it clean the paint off good I have found the number here before Skinner

Good advice. I will carefully clean off these areas. Ninety years of paint and grime will cover just about anything. Thanks again.

FYI- the HB you are seeing is not "HB" but is a slightly stylized/ overlapped "HS" which was the logo for Harrison Steel. They were the foundry for Caterpillar.

I finished cleaning the generator, and the two headlight mount areas. no indication of a serial number. The H is about one inch over the stylized 8 stamp. Assuming the H is for Holt. Clear coated those areas, so they can be double checked later. Next will again clean and check the inspection plate area next to the shift levers. I wonder if there are other Model 10 crawlers without a serial number? Thanks to everyone for their advice.

Yes, there was quite a few without serial numbers it’s like they just forgot to stamp them before they went out the end of the factory.

I have seen a lot of old Fordson tractors without any serial numbers stamped in them. I guess it is a minor thing to do when you’re trying to move large quantities out the door in a short time to make the most of high demand.
