Ok guys and gals......here is the straight scoop on tractor production directly from Mr. Harold Brock[chief engineer].This info is from his records,not memory.This info is awesome to me and I hope this will help all.Tyler, in my opinion this info needs to go to the History page.
Tractors produced per month for the first seven months:
June 1939 = 77
July = 263
Aug. = 641
Sept.= 1011
Oct. = 2036
Nov. = 2821
Dec. = 3461

Total June to Dec. 28,1939 = 10,310 tractors.
I also have production numbers up May,16,1944 if anyone would like.

ALL......here is the rest of serial numbers I recieved from Mr.Brock:
FEB.28,1940=20,000TH
APRIL 10,1940=30,000TH
SEPT.24,1940=40,000TH
FEB.19,1941=50,000TH
APR.28,1941=60,000TH
JUNE 2,1941=70,000TH
OCT.13,1941=80,000TH
DEC. 1,1941=90,000TH
OCT. 19,1942=100,000TH
FEB.26,1943=110,000TH
NOV. 19,1943=120,000TH
JAN.21,1944=130,000TH
MAR.15,1944=140,000TH
MAY 16,1944=150,000TH
IF THIS INFO IS CORRECT.....THEN ALL THE BOOKS I'VE READ ON 9N AND 2N SERIAL NUMBERS ARE INCORRECT. don b

I filled in the yearly production, but most information fits with the books:
JAN.1,1940=10,234
FEB.28,1940=20,000TH
APRIL 10,1940=30,000TH
SEPT.24,1940=40,000TH

JAN.1,1941=45,976
FEB.19,1941=50,000TH
APR.28,1941=60,000TH
JUNE 2,1941=70,000TH
OCT.13,1941=80,000TH
DEC. 1,1941=90,000TH

JAN.1,1942=88,888 This is not fitting the info.
OCT. 19,1942=100,000TH

JAN.1,1943=105,375
FEB.26,1943=110,000TH
NOV. 19,1943=120,000TH

JAN.1,1944=126,538
JAN.21,1944=130,000TH
MAR.15,1944=140,000TH
MAY 16,1944=150,000TH

Keep up the good work very interesting.

Paul, I've seen some sources that show 88888 as the first s/n of 1942, but I've seen several other sources that give the first s/n of '42 as 99003 which would fit Mr. Brock's list.

From Ford Tractors own data the first 1942 S/N was 88,934.

Interesting.........guess we'll never know for sure but I'd be inclined to go with Mr. Brocks records over FoMoCo.

I really do not understand why one would make that choice. Ford Tractors production records were published in numerous places and are quite concise.

Don,
how's the list working. Can you please explain me an examble.
What does it mean: Feb.28, 1940= 20,000TH

Stefan.......that would be the 20,000th tractor produced,or serial number 9n 20000. don b

Don,
thanks, now I understand the list.

Regards Stefan

If you have production numbers by the month, I'd love to have that information. I have a Ford parts manual that gives monthly production of the x01 and early 4 cyl Thousand series, but not anything earlier.
