Hello everyone,
My first post here. I've been doing a lot of reading on this site and it's been immensely helpful. I'm new to the club but I bought my first John Deere backhoe a few weeks ago and have been going over it and making plans to fix it up a bit. It was an old farm unit with only two owners, both farmers, so it doesn't seem like it was abused by any means. It's going to go a long way in helping me get my homestead established.
I hate to be "that guy" but again, I'm pretty new to this, but I was trying to ID the year on it. I can't believe John Deere doesn't have these serial numbers readily available in a database somewhere but here is what I have:
On the frame for the overall unit:
310AD 286167T
On the engine:
Type: A219DT
Serial: 437932T
I'm hoping to turn it into a bit of a restoration process so to speak and I'm excited to learn in the process. Any tips or advice is more than welcome!
