I have a Ford 545A and i need to find the year and engine size. I found this #'s on near the flywheel infront of the starter.
DA A
61G02 (I'm pretty sure the 3rd digit is a G)
6A23A. can you please see if you can help me out?
 
None of those are the model number or serial number of the tractor. The last one looks like a date code, which would translate to January 23 of a year that ends in a 6 during the midnight shift, but that is the assembly date for whatever part you found it on, not the assembly date of the tractor. If it is a 545A, that model was made from 1984 through 1988, so the date code is most likely January 23 1986 during the midnight shift, and the tractor is most likely a 1986 tractor as they usually assembled the tractor a few weeks to a few months after the major components were assembled.

The Model Number, Serial Number and Unit Number (date code for when the tractor was assembled) are on a flat spot above and just a little towards the rear of the tractor from the starter, not in front of the starter. They may be hard to see if your tractor has a loader, as they will be behind the loader frame upright.
 
Sean, thank you for your info so far. I was able to find the serial # thanks to your guidance. and thisa is what I found

DD411B is the model number. DD4 says that it is a 545A. The first 1 says that it has as diesel engine. The second 1 says that it has no PTO. The B at the end says that it has a 6x2 transmission with 3 forward speeds and 1 reverse speed on the main shifter and hi & low ranges on the secondary shorter shifter for a total of 6 forward and 2 reverse gears.

6F3B is the Unit Number. It says that the tractor was assembled on June 3rd 1986 during the day shift

*C762376* - This is the serial number and that is a 1986 serial number
