Just got home with a (new) LA. It is missing the SN tag. Is there anyway I can cross check on engine or casting numbers to find the year made. If I sent the engine number to John Deere archives, would they be able to help maybe? Thanks for any help----Jack

Jack, there are things to check that will get you close on the year but I don't have my info on that close at hand. Check with Dwayne at the URL I posted here. He has posted the answer to your question before and has all the info you will need to get an approximate year on your LA.
Good luck and enjoy your new toy.
Dave.
P.S. in case it doesn't work the address is www.antiquejohndeere.com that's the Ridenour's they specialize in L and LA's

If you wanted to know what year your tractor was made. You should have bought one with a tag. It is near imposible to date tractors with no tag. Deere won't help you. You need the serial number for that. No serial number, no luck.

Jack,
You say that no tractors can be traced without the tag. MANY tractors can be traced without the tag because the companies had the foresite & wisdom to put the number somewhere on the block. Case & Cat are just two of many examples. Just not Deere. Respond with dignity & respect on this website. It is a tool, not a weapon.

I guess I have to be specific now. I know that other makers can be "traced" as you put it. But, everybody wants to buy a Deere without a tag and find the whole history. All I was doing is stating a fact. No tag, no history.
Dignity & respect....I didn't swear, cut down, no caps. what?????

Deere rules

First, I'm not being an smarta$$. I'm stating a fact. Lets help you see the question.

1Q. (Is there anyway I can cross check on engine or casting numbers to find the year made.)

1A. (It is near imposible to date tractors with no tag.)

2Q. (If I sent the engine number to John Deere archives, would they be able to help maybe?)

2A. (Deere won't help you. You need the serial number for that. No serial number, no luck.)

Maybe you should open you eyes.

Thanks to all that replied. Learned a lot-all answers serve a purpose. (1) Don't buy one with out a tag as was pointed out in a delicate way. He is right. (2) The replies with the positive attitude were more enjoyable and from where I stand right now more usefull. (3) The best I can come up with from Ridenaur's is spindle size. 1 1/8" is 1941-1944 which mine falls under and 1 3/8 for 1945-1946. That is all that seems available for the LA for anyone that this question comes up for again.
