New 2630 Loader ID help

[David in TN]

Well, I am the proud new owner of a JD 2630. I get to try it out for the first time today by moving around and burning some tree tops and brush...and I can hardly wait. I feel like a kid at Christmas This is my first JD, I've had a little Ford 2000 since 1975. I've been like the biker dude without a motorcycle up until now, JD shirts, tag on my trk, etc. My little boy actually had a JD and loader before me...well kinda, his is battery powered.

I have already ordered an owners manual and will order a tech manual soon. Never the less, I'm sure I will still ask some pretty lame questions from time to time.

This loader don't have a model number on it only a serial number. Not sure it would be a good idea to post the entire serial number on here, so I'll hold off on that for now. Is the model number part of the serial number? Can anybody ID this loader?

Thanks,
DD

Looks like a 148.

David you have a nice looking tractor. Yes the first part of the SN will have the model of the loader. I think from picture that yours is a 145. Tx Jim

That looks just like the 145 loader that's on my JD 1530. Should be a serial number tag on the left side of the loader. I think it's on or near where the loader frame mounts to the tractor.

It is a 145 then. Is that good? It seems to be built pretty strong and is in good shape. It has a leaky line that I'll replace later today (bucket won't stay tilted up) other than that everything is working fine so far.

Thanks!!

Looks just like my 146 from what I can see. May be a 145, but I don't think it's a 148.
