971 Ford serial number

bumblebee · Apr 14, 2023

As some of you know, the serial number is located below the battery location and over the years the number is no longer visible. Is there another way to determine what the number is or what year the tractor is. Tractor came from factory painted gold, will that tell what year it is?

As always, thanks for your help.

according to this source, likely 1959.

"all the gold demonstrators I ve seen have select-o-speed transmissions and early serial numbers from 1959."

My 971D had no serial number because the original overrunning SOS had been swapped out. There was NO serial number. The tab on the radiator top tank had 1959.
