'42 numbers ran from 56782 to 61400. From Terry deans book.

That makes sense Phil... the YT site lists the first 43 tractor as 6451 which is a digit SHORT... I just added a "0" to the end...for 64510 ..... Makes a lot more sense that they MISSED the "1" and that would be 61451 .... similar to what you said.

Kind of balances out the production numbers for 42- 43- 44 ...
