Could someone give me the changes that JD made in the model A from 47-52. I know in 47 that they went to a pressed steel frame and a diffrent seat. I am tring to narrow my year model down close. I know I have at least a 47 but do not know any more than that. Serial Plate gone. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

BB

If it has a single stick transmission it will be a 50 model or later. The single stick transmission started at serial number 648000 which is early in the 1950 year run. Near the very end of the 50 year model they went to a 18 gal. fuel tank on gas tractors. (Sr.#662729) Square axle came about in late 49. If you can tell us if the choke knob is on the dash, attached to the steering support, or left hand light support that will help.

Also, if it has the original cast rear wheels, the very late 50 had the extra 4 round holes in the wheels. My son's (my dad bought it new) has the extra holes. It was one of the last 250 (approx. I don't have the number in front of me now) built in the 1950 production year.

CLW,
What's the cutoff on the choke? Our 49 has the choke through the top left of the dash. On the 50 it comes under the dash and attaches to the light bar.

Thanks
Loren

Loren, the choke was on the dash until 643750 then moved to the steering support through 662728. At that time it was placed on the left light bar. This comes from JULY-AUG. 1998 TWO-CYLINDER.

BB let us know if it has a water pump, six speed single lever or a hi-low shift set up, square or round rear axle etc. these guys can date it for you. Lary
