Thanks john, how did you arrive at the date ?

The early industrial models (20XXX) were built right along side of the X01 model tractors so they share their serial #'s.
If you look at the link below you will see the first serial # for 1961 is 131427 and the last is 155531. So it is a 1961.
I also have a book that breaks it down by month.
What model and year tractor do you have
