Dovebuster,
I'm having some difficulty identifying the manufacturing information.
Your tractor's serial number should start with either the letter "C" (U.S. produced), or the letter "B" (built in Basildon, England)
I see nothing referring to serial numbers beginning with the letter "A".
TRACTOR MODEL NUMBER
PRODUCTION CODE & SERIAL NUMBER
THESE ARE THE NUMBERS THAT HAVE THE MOST MEANING
Example numbers shown here for demonstration purposes
Tractor Model No: C1023C
Tractor Production Code: 2J29B = Unit Date Code
Tractor Serial Number: C354485
This tag is located on the right side of your tractor, at the rear of the engine compartment, near the starter.

If you had a production code of:
5K01B
Then it would be a 1965 October 01 Day Shift correct?
Also according to the model number it is a C1023C
3000 All Purpose Gas Live 540 8 Speed
My question is that earlier in the post it stated that the model ID for a 3000 is 3 for early models and D for later models.
Shouldn't a 1965 have 3 for a model number instaed of C?
THANKS ....
