| The tag should be on the frame on the right side where you climb into cab. It'll start with D. Ours is D427, which makes it a 1949. |

Post your ser# and I can tell you the year and what engine you have in it. The D graders used the WD/WD45/ D17 engines. ------------- 3 WD45's with power steering,G,D15 fork lift,D19, W-Speed Patrol, "A" Gleaner with a 330 corn head,"66" combine,roto-baler, and lots of Snap Coupler implements to make them work for their keep. |

D3824 would be 1954 and it would have the G226 engine that was used in the WD45 farm tractor. From the picture it almost looks as if it has a square frame. The square frame didn't start until 1964. If it is a diesel engine and it is a DD grader then s/n 3842 would make it a 1967 model. The serial number shown does start with a D so I am confused. Perhaps the old round tube frame failed and they rebuilt it with a square frame. More pictures please. ------------- Jack of all trades, master of none |

Hi Don. You are correct with these serial numbers. The first picture is of a round frame on a 1954 open station D grader that had just completed building a golf course in Orangeville, Ontario. The second picture is of my grader. This square framed, 1967 'D Special' is now an open stationed unit. I am sorry for the confusion. I was trying to explain where the units serial numbers are located. |

Sorry Ross. Late at night and I didn't look at who was posting the pictures. I guess I just assumed that it was the original poster. ------------- Jack of all trades, master of none |

| If you can't find the tag on the grader. You might look on top of the hydraulic control box. That's where I found ours. |
