Ford 555 year build help

[Apollojmr]

Can anyone help me with decoding the year of my tractor? This is what I have found so far.


Ford 555 Serial-C407001


C407001

C5NN7006

C169477

55011J

7C22

6M21C



7A26B



H7UD01

Serial # C407001 is for a tractor built in 1974 in the US, but my literature says 555 production began in 75
Is this a 3 cylinder or 4 cylinder tractor?
55011J could be the model number but the first digit should be a letter
Can you post a photo of the numbers and of the tractor

It’s a 4 cylinder diesel. 74 seems appropriate, however I wouldn't doubt it being a little newer either. Thank you for the information.

sorry I’m out of town and that’s the only picture I have on my phone I believe. I’ll post more if I can find them.

The 5550 decal looks appropriate and Aline’s with the 74 model year
For a 5550 the model code should start with E55
11J would be for a diesel engine with no pto and 6x6 torque convertor auto reversing transmission

My serial # book also says 1974.
