Likely in the 1974/1975 range. Serial number charts for the industrial tractors are hard to find. I am basing my guess on the Dubuque Ag tractor and crawler serial number charts I have access to. Your JD dealer should be able to find out the year for you. Having the serial number is more important than the year, parts catalogs have serial number breaks.

Maybe this will help ID yr of manufacture.

Tx Jim has a point, they changed/added the product ID tag to the later ones. Given the "T" at the end of the number you posted I was only thinking of the old type located on the right rear side of the transmission. The second tag, or newer product ID tag, should be located on the top of the left-hand side frame, if it has one. Does yours have one or two tags and which format(s).

This is the format of the older tag:

You need to find an old industrial equipment value guide as it also has serial number listing by years
