Want to Refresh hard to read B/C/CA Tractor numbers in transmissions. Best place to buy numbers Zero to Nine and individual A-B-C letter punches. What size do I ask for? |

| McMaster Carr sells individual metal stamps, their site shows quite a variety of stamps. They are sized by the height of the character. Measure the height of the numbers you want to refresh and check to see if they have a match for the height of your numbers. MSC has some and I expect Grainger does as well. |

Would an electric engraving pencil work to freshen up the numbers ? Dusty ------------- 917 H, '48 G, '65 D-10 series III "Allis Express" |

I’ve seen serial numbers on combines were the 1 was upside down. Also 6 and 9 being the same number stamp. |

| Before you stamp make sure all the paint is cleaned out. You might find out that you won't need to purchase stamps because they may look as good as the day the numbers were stamped at the factory. |

I know I've seen on TV that the cops have etched the numbers with some kind of acid to see them. On TV it's amazing how it comes out. Let us know how you come out Ken and what you did. ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |

Gee, humans make errors... Some do it innocently, some do it to deceive...

| I looked at a parts B and a IB at a show with the numbers stamped upside down. Both were the same year . I could just see the same AC employee doing both of the stampings |
