John Deere L

[OCB]

I have a "L" that has a RUST Eaten S/N Tag. It is the JD engine without a starter. My best guess is 1942 - 1946 but I can't seem to refine the year built. Is there anything, like a casting or? , that changed that would identify that it was a early or late built?
I have some missing parts but finding next to none listed of my need, any sources would be appreciated as I still explore options. ( I'm also hoping the former resting place will disclose the Drawerbar or more implement parts. )
Thanks Clay

What size are the rear tires? I believe the early models had 6.0x22.

The rear tires are 9/24's and the front is 4/15. Thanks for the start anything else. Clay

Sounds like a LA to me. We have a good bit of parts for the L series. You can see some at www.antiquejohndeere.com
