Well, if it is styled and electric start, that started in 1939. So I doubt that it is a 37 or 38. Is the tag steel or aluminum? Send me some pictures.

i didn't have a tag on my 48 at all but with the aid of aggod parts book and alot of dectative work you can get it real close. the problem is that when the tractor got older some replacement parts changed slightly over the years so if something wore out you got the latest replacement part. i think that on some of the old jds you could find the year on the side of the block somewhere in the neighborhood of the flywheel. also closeup pictures of alot of different plarts on your old tractor might get you and answer from mr thinker of green magazine fame (?). if you aren't a subscriber you can find them on the web. good luck. i like to see guys getting the family involved in projects so if i can help em me. a good guy to deal with on parts is marlin smith in iowa 712-489-2570. tell him john from al said hi
