Ford 455 Tractor Identification

[Orahov]

Hello, I am trying to figure out the model I need for this tractors manual.

I've attached a photo of the Id plate but I don't know if the last character of model number is letter A or number 1.

Tractor Number: X R400449 X
Model: KF111 (A/1?)
Unit: 8B12B (1988?)

Manual that came with this tractor is 445/545, they have 445C, 445D, 455C, 455D etc.. but all I can see painted on the tractor loader is Ford 455. What is the difference between these?

I will attach a photo of the tractor later if need be.

Looking at my manual, I don't know if the engine displacement is 192 in^2 (Ford 345/445) or 201 in^2 (Ford 545), but online manual previews I see Ford 455 has the same engine displacement as the 545?

It is a 455, Feb 12, 1988 build. The built the 455 from 7/87 to 11/88, then built the 455C. There were never any 455A's or 455B's. The 345, 445 and 545 are straddle mount where is this is a flat deck made for a backhoe, BUT, the 455 could also have a 3 point hitch.

K = 400 size
F = Flat deck
1 = Design level 1
1 = Diesel, vertical exhaust
1 = No PTO
1 = 4X4 Power reversing torque converter, synchronized transmission.

Displacement is 192 CID

Hey, thanks very much for this information!

I had seen many good videos on YouTube only about the 555 also.
