Serial # help
Serial # help
I have what I believe is a 450B 6-way blade. Everything points to it being a 450B, Non turbo, dry clutches, etc. It was re painted at some point, so there are no original markings.
I found the serial number where the manual said I would, but it is one digit short, and starts with a zero. I looked under the JD crawlers serial# info, and found nothing starting with zero. Kinda confused. Need to get the number right for ordering parts.
Anyone know whats going on?

Hi,
What are the rest of the digits? The later below 100k serials started with a zero. You know, when someone realized they would be using a leading one before long....

Looks like 68 model straight 450 to me.

Hi,
This is what I thought. When they got up somewhere around 70,000 they added a leading zero because they knew a leading one was on the horizon. But, that leading zero never showed up in the lists.
Just drop the zero and you will be at the correct serial number.

From a service manual standpoint I don't think that much, parts would be the main issue I would think.

Hi,
There is a list of serial numbers by year in the FAQ forum:
http://www.jdcrawlers.com/messageboard/ ... php?t=2415
For knowing exactly which parts change by serial number, one needs the Deere parts manual.
