Serial number confusion

jimisler · Feb 14, 2015

I just got a 77 row crop. Serial number has too many digits, or I'm reading it wrong 3401830 Before the number is 1SL and after there may be a figure, then a "D", which I presume means diesel. It is a diesel. It is stuck, but I think I know where to go there.

The before the number would be DSl not 1Sl which is for an early diesel. 340 183 is the serial number. The 0 is probably a C and then there should be 2 numbers (77) and then a letter which is the code for the transmission. DON' t try to turn the engine over unless you have an extra $1000 dollars to waste on the project.

Why should I not try to turn the engine over? At least enough to get it unstuck.

It is somewhat common for the injector pump to sieze. Turning the engine will break the shaft in the pump.

You could take the pump off first, or do John's screw driver test on the pump first.
