I've recently acquired a Massey 35 with Perkins diesel. The serial number tag is missing. Is there any way to determine serial or year of manufacture? I have the serial off the engine, but I haven't found anything showing year of manufacture for Perkins engines.
 
Thanks for the links. It appears it is a 1961 according to the casting code on the side of the transmission (D20J) but.... now I'm a little skeptical of those codes and serial numbers.

I've also got a Continental gas powered 35 with casting code J16ML which doesn't conform with the lettering convention they show. It would indicate either a 63 (L) or 64 (M), but the serial number (242248) on the tractor makes it a 61 according to the same chart. Tractordata shows this serial to be a 1964 model. The discrepancies are making me question these dates.
