JD A serial #

[Anonymous-0]

Ok.........
I found out what yr this JD A was???
I just went out to copy the # down on a pad of paper,
The serial # is 580542 which by the list in the serial # file, line's up with 47,48 model yr,
So.. It wasnt a 45 after all like the older man said that I got it from,
I mean It's no big deal,
But its kinda neat to find these thing's out,

when i bought mine the man told me it was a 1950, and when i checked the serial # it was a 1949. doesn't really matter to much .dds

Actually it does make a difference. Your tractor is an early 1947. There were significant changes made at S/N 584,000 which was mid year 1947. Changes include the main case, block, head, and front frame to name a few. Mike

Mine is 591809 which is supposed to be a 47, I got several pics of it in my www link, you can look at it and compare them.

Yep, yours is a 1947. When ever I buy a tractor, I check the serial number and get the year even if the person I bought it from told me what year it was. Just like to make sure.

so anything greater than 584,000 in mid year 1947 was a "late styled" A? early than that was a slant dash (with electric option), steel pan seat, not formed side frame, etc, etc, correct? what is the beginning date of a model year back in 1946 and 1947, ie when did they introduce and switch over production?
