I just purchased a Ford 545 D skip loader 4x4 with Gannon box. I was on the web the other day and ran across a great thread about figuring out the date and options from the serial number and other tag codes. But I cannot find it now
So, here is my data:
DD5PW2
4D19B
A428695
What I remember from that thread. The DD5 is a 545 but don't know about the PW2. The 4D19B is year ending in 4 and April 19th, B is the day shift. Since this is a D model and was only produced between 1993 and 1997, I think the manufacturing date would be April 19, 1994, correct? The third set, A is Antwerp plant followed by the SN.
This tractor has 4x2 transmission with reverser and 4wd.
What I'd really like to find is a set of manuals for a 545 D. I don't see them available here. Any ideas where else to look?
