Tractor Serial Number Research

Important information regarding New Generation serial numbers.

Production information on specific models of John Deere Two-Cylinder Tractors is available from the Two-Cylinder Club at $15.00 for a single research, and $15.00 each for additional researches when ordered at the same time. (Persons who are not members of the Two-Cylinder Club may order Tractor Serial Number Researches for $25.00 each, plus applicable shipping.) The information will be supplied on a personalized document especially created for this purpose. If duplicate documents for any research are desired, such as for additional members of the family, the price is $15/25 each, provided that the duplicates are ordered at the same time as the original request.

Official Document
Persons wanting to receive the document flat for framing (to avoid the creases made by folding) should include an additional $6.00 for Priority Mailing in a reinforced package (initially available only to U.S. locations). Several documents can be mailed together in the same reinforced package at no additional mailing charge.

Production information is available for nearly all vintage John Deere Tractors, from the Waterloo Boy through the New Generation. There are some exceptions, as no production information is known to exist for Model "L" Tractors prior to serial number 625000, nor for Model "62" or Model "Y" Tractors. There also are no records for Model "M" Tractors prior to serial number 52542, for Model "W" Power Units after serial number 5289, or for Model "840" Tractors after serial number 8400898.

The production information available varies considerably from model to model, and sometimes from tractor to tractor within a given model. For example, shipping destinations are not available for any tractors built at the Dubuque Tractor Works, specific shipping destinations (other than Branch House Territory) are often not available for Waterloo-built tractors, optional equipment is typically not available for most Waterloo tractors built in the 1950s (and is inconsistently available for earlier tractors), and a "build" date is not necessarily the date a tractor was built as much as it is the date that the tractor was entered into inventory records.
