The Model A was produced in College Park, Md. in 1954. Model A tractors will have a serial number stamped on the right side of the frame rail just aft of where it slides in to the front casting. As far as we can tell, approximately 350 tractors were produced in College Park, of which we have documented less than 50 to still exist. Copar was not good at keeping records, and most likely did not build the tractors in sequence. The serial number on the frame rail will be 3 digits and most likely less in value than 350.
Model A Panzers were all red, powered by an 8 1/2 hp Model 23 Briggs & Stratton engine and had cast iron pulleys on both the engine and jack shaft. The jack shaft had the location 'College Park, Md.' and 'Mod A.' cast in to it, where later models had Laurel, Md. Advertising literature shows it had 6x16' tires on the rear, although at least one confirmed original Model A has 8x16' tires on it.

- Clinton's Serial Numbers Introduction. Serial numbers are normally serial - that is to say they follow upon each other without gaps. But if this is the case with Clinton's serial numbers, it points to a very high productivity (about 7.5 flutes per working week) for a small and relatively short-lived company, and a high sales rate at a time when competition between all the new models on offer.

Clinton Engine Serial Numbers Ford
Because they were made of cast iron and succeptable to cracking, the jack shaft casting and pulleys may not be a reliable way to identify a Model A. I have a Model A with a cast iron engine pulley and serial number stamped in the frame, but because the tractor was used extensively for mowing, it has a replacement jack shaft casting and a large pulley made of aluminum. The rims had been repainted with yellow paint and had 8x16' turf tires on it. However, when I took the tires off the rims, it was clear the original rim color was red.
When production switched to Laurel, Md. in early 1955, the company began referring to them as a Model T102. Because of existing stock and repair parts, newer models of 3 and even 4 wheel Copar Panzers can have a jack shaft casting that says College Park. Jim Haynes (Dandy Sales) and I have had a lot of debates, and have agreed that only tractors produced in College Park should be called Model A. All others were built in Laurel and are called by their T100 or T200 model designations.

For example, I have a 3 wheel Copar Panzer that looks exactly like a Model A. It has a serial number of 1947 stamped into the frame, but it is to the right of the tool box and not on the frame rail. It also has an aluminum engine pulley. Even though it says Mod A on the jack shaft housing, it also says Laurel, Md. Because of this, it is a T102 and not a Model A.
