To find the year of manufacture, you can try the following:
* Contact John Deere: The best resource is to reach out to John Deere directly. You can contact them through their website or by calling their customer service line. They will likely have records of the serial number and can tell you the year of manufacture.
* Check your owner's manual: If you still have the original owner's manual for the tractor, it may contain the year of manufacture.
* Look for a data plate: The tractor may have a data plate that lists the year of manufacture. This plate is usually located on the engine block, frame, or under the hood.
* Consult online forums: Online forums for John Deere enthusiasts may have information about specific serial numbers and years of manufacture.
* Contact a John Deere dealer: Local John Deere dealers often have access to databases and can help you identify the year of manufacture.
Remember to have the serial number readily available when contacting John Deere or a dealer.
