[AJD] late B

[Dean VP]

Paul:

All of JR Hobbs books list serial number by model year. As far as an
official JD document I don't have access to the official JD archived
production register info so I don't know the exact way in which they are
presented. 

I do know this, for example, some 1953 model year JD 60's were made in 1952.
This occurred repeatedly across all models. Another example: some Styled JD
B's for model year 1939 B's were made in late 1938. This is a good example
because this was the model year where JD switched from unstyled to styled
B's. A very clear distinctive difference.

Good comments, Mlke
I have questons about " model year". Has anyone ever seen a Deere 
publication which provides serial numbers by "model year"?
If such a thing exists, I would like to see it!

I will suggest that one of the prominent alternate lists also publish based
on Model year.  The discrepancy comes from defining the parameters of the
model year.  A more useful demarcation might be just the serial number which
determines the appropriate part/casting etc.  The parts book for tractors
lists the serial numbers corresponding to the part needing replacing.  Model
year designations have created arbitrary values on tractors.  A prime
example is the D that sold in Washington within the last 8 weeks.  It was
identical in its parts and configuration but sold unrestored for more than
twice what an identical restored tractor did during the same period.  The
tractors were less than 400 serial numbers apart.  Take the tags off and you
could not have told any difference between the two.  Is $6000 plus the cost
of restoration truly reflective of an objective premium for identical
tractors?

Bill:

It is interesting how serial number lists vary depending on author. JR Hobbs
lists the model year/serial number breaks as follows (See second # per year
below):
It would be very helful to us collectors if we could get those who publish
these serial number lists to define their reference as Model Year, like JR
does, vs calendar year vs production year. It sure causes a lot of
confusion.

Yep, that makes it a '51, Ron;.  Parts should be plenty available.  Got one
up this way about like it I may have a chance to pick up, the guy just died
a couple of months ago so there will probably be an estate sale.
