MF 20 Ind Serial Number/Year

[Samuels68]

First, thanks to all who viewed my last post, and especially to Chuck for his help in finding a wiring diagram for me.
I recently took posession of my grandpa's MF Industrial 20 loader tractor with the hopes of bringing the old girl back to life. The last couple of years have been hard on her parked behind the barn in the weeds, but she will run again, hopefully soon.
From what I am told, the Ind 20 was basically a 135 with a heavy duty loader and funny paint color, but any more info that you folks might be able to share would be greatly appreciated as well.
My question this evening is about the serial number. The serial number plate reads 9A 94346, and I was wondering if anyone could help identify what year this machine would have been manufactured.
Just a side note, it is good to see so many out there with a love for red paint, especially for a guy just 20 miles from JD world headquarters!! Take care and Thanks again!

All tractors with 9A prefixes use the same serial
numbers. Look up a 135, 165, etc. and the serial
number should match to the year. The casting date of
the engine is probably on the bottom of the oil pan
as well.

There should be a 'sticky' on this subject.

Serial numbers

Yours falls into 1970

Great, thanks for the help. I had looked under 135, and under 165, but none of the numbers were 9A. Now I see there is a section 135, 165, etc. all as one group. Guess it just takes someone smarter than me to point stuff out!!
Thanks guys!
