Hey Guys, I am totally ignorant when it comes to JD tractors(and a lot of other stuff too). My Brother-in-law just bought a JD model 40S, Ser. # 61318. It has small wheels on the rear and a gear reduction at the end of the axle housings. The serial no. matches almost every 40 model that was built in 1953. The 40 Special was only built in '55. Could this be a Special or can someone give me some help on this? Thanks

Can't be a Special "V" tractor as the serial number is too high because they only made 329 40V's. V's have 34" rear rubber and have taller spindles on the front axle.

Whiskers,your brother has a 1951 40-standard.It should have 24" wheels on the rear,& single touch-o-matic. Those 40 standards stand a little tall so they look a little like a V or special.
