TDS · Dec 28, 2012

I"m cleaning up my 45 for the AG Connect Show in KC that was only used one year then sat in the shed as wasn"t started sense 1962 and thought I would show how its cleaning up. Im using TKO cleaning solution and very fine steel wool. Im going to follow the cleaning with a good buff and wax. I was wondering what year it is (SN636242)

Dont know if this will help you narrow it down...The 1965 45 squareback that I had was SN# 35509

Hey Tristan, Good to see you working on some green. Does your 45 have the Herc flathead engine? If so it is a 1957 or earlier, the 45 came out I believe in 1954; and used the Herc engine until JD started using it's own engines in combines, which was the 1958 model year.

Does it have an actual serial # plate, if not it may still be stamped on the frame.

Good luck, Brad
