JD BO linderman

[lost in alaska]

I have questions about finding a correct age of this BO.. It is unstyled, so# 335450 on the tag by the mag, casting number on the block is B1360P. all doesn't add up. all seem to be different years manufacturing. What am I missing. This in a linderman track system

According to serial # chart on this forum you have a 1945 BO Linderman. You can for a price get 2 Cylinder club to research your crawlers serial # for more exact production date.

that is what I thought although the unstyled part is throwing me, From what I can find out is JD quit the unstyled in 38 unless linderman ordered them special from JD for their conversions.

I may be wrong on this, but I don't believe Deere ever styled the BR's and BO's. They did the AR's and AO's, but not the B series.

I agree no styled BR's or BO's were ever manufactured. I've owned a '45 model BO for 55 yrs

 

[Mark-Ia]

AR's were unstyled until 52

The last unstyled ar was built in 1949

The Lindrman Archives pages are still up and working.

Ted Adams passed away a few years ago but the site is still up and running. Lots of BO information there.

I don't see your SN listed but it was most likely in the batch of BO chassis sent to Yakima for conversion on 9/10/45. A total of 90 BOs were sent to Yakima for conversion in Srptember 1945.
