I bought two 450 Framalls the other day. The one I think is a 400. It has a 264 motor, 4.125 IH Fire Crater Pistons, and the 281 engine cylinder head. (Fiber optic scope). The serial number is illegible. How do I tell from casting numbers if it is a 400 or 450 originally? They both have Char lynn power steering on them and the 450 that has a knock in the motor is just a cam gear, of which I will be looking for one soon.

Engine serial should be under the #1 spark plug. Engine serial prefix for the 400 is C264, for the 450, C281.

If you mean the chassis, then Rustyfarmall is correct.

About the engine you have answered your own question. If it has 264 on block its a 400 or 450
with 400 engine.Not enough differance in engines to worry much about.Most 264 have been changed over years to 281,also most gasoline used same
clinder head.Later 400 went to smaller wrist pin
which carried through 450.450 changed to left hand thread camshaft gear nut after early ones.
Early 400 cast # on block ended in R1,later 400
and 450 ended R2.On missing serial #,is it missing
on engine or tractor?If engine may be replacement block.

According to my resources, the casting code for the 1955 is the letter A, followed by B for 1956, C for 1957, D for 1958.
