5755 were built with hand brakes, all of which also had a short steering arm.

Thanks Lonnie, I bought a pair of C's a couple weeks ago, one of them is tractor #49

which puts it at a 1940 according to my books-the first year. I will be picking these jewels up soon. Strangely enough, the other tractor is 83994 which is right at the end of production. I will post pics when I get em home. I was curious as to the production of the hand brake C's I thought maybe they were a little scarcer than that.

When you get #49 home could you check out the engine serial # for me. On my C#30 the serial # is on the back of the block in the center like the BE engines were but it's a CE engine. It'll be interesting to find out where your # is and how close it is to matching the tractor #.
