IH CC 122 Serial number... ?

[MOturkE]

So, I've looked in the two places on my 122 where the serial number tag is supposed to be and it's not there. In the manual it shows a flat spot molded into the right side of the rear of the tranny as one of them, there's no flat spot there. Also, they show there should be a tag riveted to the flat spot at the top of the rear of the tranny, there's no tag and no rivet holes, either. Now I'm stumped. I read somewhere that the number is usually stamped into the reduction housing... Does anyone know if that's the right or left side, and would I need to remove the fenders and seat assembly to read it? I really want to find out when it was built, also to keep the number in our records.

There are three locations it could be in.. See pictures below:

YESSssss! I think,... I found the spot just forward of the right rear axleshaft as shown in your second photo. THANK YOU! For the help! However, there are two numbers there; one on the lower half reads 133001, the one on the upper half reads 133621. The lower one is die stamped deep and the upper one is very shallow and a bit faint. But, I now have numbers! Thanks again!

Try to get us a good clear picture if you can.

Looks like with either number it was born in Nov. of 1965.
