Welcome to the Forms.

It is highly unlikely you will find an exact match for your serial number. Serial number lists are generated in ranges showing the first serial number of that model year, for the most part. Your 66 would appear to be a 1952 unit. 1952 serial numbers started at 429771 and the 1953 serial numbers started at 3503990. Your tractor's number of 430491 is above 429771 and below 3503990 so it falls in the 1952 serial number range.

Edited to correct 1953 starting serial number.

Jim, was that supposed to be a 450990? I'm confused.

Thanks, I missed a digit in the middle of the 1953 starting serial number list. I will edit it to be correct.

From the YT serial number list.

Thank you that makes perfect sense, I just never thought of it that way.
