Walt,

Can't help you with the dates of when Deere made the #4 but I just wanted to let you know you got yourself a good mower. In my opinion the only downside to the #4 was the amount of weight they put onto the horses neck compared to the McCormick #7 and #9. Deere did have a 2 wheel truck to use with a short pole to take the weight off of the horses.

The weight was also an upside for the #4. If it has the 6 foot sickle bar it seems to handle thick grass better because of it. It didn't slide the wheels as badly as the McCormick #7 or #9 with the 6 foot bar.

Just my 2 bits worth,

Old Iron
