My HG 42, with the number behind magneto: 115 53 746. The number on left side of block: 1XB3. It is my understanding that the 1XB3 engine was only manufactured in 1950 and 1951. Is this correct? And if so, it doesn't correspond with the number that I previously stated, which is behind the magneto.
No tags remain on the crawler itself. I really need to get an accurate idea of what year this crawler is, so I can buy the correct manual, determine the correct paint (it appears to have been green with yellow details), and so on. I would really appreciate if someone knowledgeable on this would step up and give me some solid information.
Appreciatively, Josh

Are you sure it is an HG and not an early OC-3. Now the first OC-3 tractors were shipped with HG manuals. Can you send me pictures of the final drives? Late HG tractors have different final drives. Yes I would say you have a green tractor instead of the early orange model.
