Birthday cub or IH

[jbaker]

I was messing around and did some math and came up with a good idea of serial numbers of cubs made the day I was born. my numbers will be my example

By taking from the serial numbers made that month I came up with a total number built 3757 divided it by the days that would of been worked that month/year most likely 21.
That gave me an average of number built per day 179.
now i mutipleid that by the number of day of my bday 1611 then I added that to my serial start number for my month, and that gave me a likely serial number for the start of the day on my bday Cub Cadet #167392
then I added 179 to that for the start number of the next day #167571

so if you have a cub in that range it was made on my birthday

Yes its very slow at work right now

Wont be long

Anouther thing to look at is the casting date. I helped a guy last year or the year before to build, I think, a 70 out of parts that all had a casting number within a month of his birthday. I know Dennis said the lead times were a lot tighter but it's what was there.
What would be interesting, for fun is to do the math on a known tractor and compare the casting dates to see if it works out anywhere near.
