There should be a letter before that number. Serial number is just in front of the gearshift. Should read "Tractor No.".... ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '63 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |

A "B" will have a gear box under the gas tank with the arm down as noted.. A "C" will have a gear box under the gas tank with the arm UP and steering rod run to a second gear box under the radiator... The front wheels of a C can be narrow or wide front end, but always driven from this SECOND gear box. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |
