DC-4 SN#

[dick benson]

I have a DC4 with foot clutch and heart shaped front bolster. Anyone know the exact year of it, SN# 8026108.
It's a little confusing because most DC use a much lower SN#?
Also, I have read where they reconfigured some of the last DC's and installed foot clutch and heart bolster I think. What about the larger and I think aluminum pistons they put in some of them? I have 8 Flambluent Red case's. here's three of them. The DC4 is in the paint shop right now.

Here is the pic with three tractors. It did not load last time.

What's the one on the right in the pic of three. Looks like an LAI.

1942 D. Looks like a DO but says D on SN# plate.

D series with 80------ are 1953 models. If it has foot clutch, easy ride seat, and foot throttle, it should also have 4" aluminum pistons as well. Don

Thanks, I was pretty sure it was a 53. I read where it sounded like they put the 4" pistons in them.
