Dano, I assume this is a small farm tractor model B... On this site it is not called a garden tractor, but a farm tractor. You should repost in the farm tractor section. The serial numbers were hand stamped. The space between the 575 and 12 is just human error....... your number is B57512. The motors are very similar from 1940 up thru the late 1950s. The piston diameter changed slightly and older models may have the larger size. Many tractors have been "changed" over the years so the model year is not really important. Post in the "farm tractor" page and put in a photo if you can. Ask all the questions you want. Plenty of answers here.
