It was built in Waterloo, Iowa. From my addition of the monthly build totals from Nov, 1953, I make your tractor to have been built in April, 1954. My source: The John Deere tractor production log contained in the Spring 1994 issue of TRACTOR DIGEST.

Nov 1953 125 built
Dec 1953 189 built 314 total 1954 models
Jan 1954 300 " 614 "
Feb 1954 669 " 1283 "
Mar 1954 645 " 1928 "
Apr 1964 750 " 2678 "

1954 production began @ serial # 16,041.
Your serial # 18,355
Your tractor was the 2314th 1954 50 built
The last Mar 1954 tractor was the 1928th built.
Your tractor, therefore, is a mid April tractor.
