Hello. Please help us identify this JD tractor model. This is a tractor we use at my work and has been repainted years ago without anyone replacing the needed decals. It could be one of many but we would like to narrow it down as much as possible. I tried running the numbers with the local JD dealer with no help. It is a John Deere model made around the late 60's early seventies. Some say it might be anywhere from a 1020 to a 1520. (Quite a spread there but they look similar.) The numbers on the rear differential tag are 4R1H 1041481. The engine is a 3 cylinder gas with tag numbers M41TR 158774T (Very visible on both tags) The exhaust runs out the back and has a high/low on the dash (rabbit/aturtle)with 2 shift levers with high and low ranges. Deferential lock, three point with a 2 way hydraulic remote. I believe it has a 10 gallon gas tank, or very close to it. MAYBE 12 if topped off tight. Wide front end with power adjust rims. Pto lever is on the left side of transmission. Split clutch for live power to shift. I found an casting number on the engine which reads T26934 with a "D" behind it. I'm assuming the "D" is Dubuque? WE would appreciate any and all help. It sure seems funny that the JD dealer could not come up with these numbers somewhere in the data base. The numbers are quite legible on the tags unless one or two are omitted somehow. I can get more info if needed. Right now we need to order seals or o rings, bushings, for the governor. It likes to leak a lot more now somewhere hidden between the engine and one side of the governor. Possible o ring on the shaft? Any and all help would be appreciated. Thank you for now.
