serial# question?

[fireline]

Can anyone tell me where to find the serial number at on my MF135? The plate is missing that is supposed to be on left side under the steering wheel.I'm trying to find out how many horsepower the Continential Z145 4cyl. gas has and the year model that the tractor is?

Located on the dashpanel. Here are the year to serial number breaks, the serial numbers here are the beginning for the year shown.

641000001 is 1964, 641001909 is 1965, 641014871 is 1966, 9A10001 is 1967, 9A39836 is 1968, 9A63158 is 1969, 9A87325 is 1970, 9A107519 is 1971, 9A128141 is 1972, 9A152025 is 1973, 9A182761 is 1974, 9A207681 is 1975.

Horsepower depends on the unit you have, this is how it is listed. Early is 35.4 hp, late is 37.5 hp, and spec is 32.5 E hp. Im not exactly sure what the "spec" or "E" means.
