However, in some cases, that point was shifted, such as when the styled “A” and “B” tractors were introduced in the summer of 1938. This point was originally in the October/November time period. For many years, Deere and Company factories observed an annual vacation/inventory/changeover period in the summer or early fall. As you can see, about the only thing they all agree on is that “A” tractors began at 410000.įirst of all, let’s discuss how Green Magazine came up with our serial number/year breaks. Where these companies found these lists, I’m not sure. In addition, you will find two lists which we found in parts catalogs. On the chart that accompanies this article, you will find the Green Magazine list, a list from a 1950 Deere and Company service bulletin and a list from the book, John Deere Tractors 1918-1994, which was published by Deere. It only took a few minutes to find five different charts. I provided to him the year that Green Magazine research would give for his tractor, but it got me to thinking about the number of different lists out there and how they compared. I recently had a question from a reader concerning what year his John Deere two-cylinder tractor was, citing conflicting information he had gotten from different sources.
