When were the first and last machines built?
The earliest date the source gives is 2 October 1934: serial number 1000, the first UNSTYLED B-GP. The source does not say whether this is the tractor’s or the engine’s number. Serial numbers are shown exactly as the source prints them. We never work out a year from a serial number: where the source gives no year, none is shown.
