It will probably be hard to pin point an exact year when IH transferred over to a different style, as they used up surplus at the start of the transition before putting the newer styles on. That is why you will see the same model tractors with slight differences sometimes. For instance, some of the 123's had the dipstick on the top and in the front of the engine and some of them were on the side by the points. Some of the 123's had 48" decks with baffles on the front and some of them did not. Some of the differences may also be attributed to different locations, as some plants may have had more overstock than others to use up. More than likely, you will find a period of a year or two when the change overs were made.
