IH 454, JD LX188
Hi all, I had a nice older IH 454 that I sold, and just bought a TC30 with loader instead. Was looking for something 4x4, hydro, and a little smaller to maneuver in small spaces better.

It was sold as a 2007, but I think it may be a 2004.
These are its numbers:
HK30780
Engine: N843-95998
Unit:4A07B
Does this mean it was manufactured Jan 07, 2004?

I am now looking for an Operator manual, and probably eventually a service manual as well. I see some hard copies on eBay, but most of the online pdf manual sellers looked rather shady and some charge more than the paper manuals. Any recommendations for a legit place to buy one?

The hood was off of it when I bought it (has a few dents from a branch that need hammered out). I didn't realize that the two side screens and grill screen were missing. New replacements are stupidly expensive. Any suggestions on where to look for salvage parts, besides eBay?

It's also missing the back covers on both the rear fender lights. On the parts diagrams it looks like you have to buy the whole light assembly. Does anyone know if there are options anywhere just to buy the back covers?

It needs washed up and some fresh paint but so far it runs and drives. Checked the dipstick and the oil is amber, thinking it must have been changed recently. Wondering if I should change the hydraulic fluid. It has 1273 hours.

The parts books for New Hollands are available from the OEM online for free.
mycnhstore.com

The right upper side shield is SBA378105430
Lower right SBA378103130
upper left SBA378107050
lower left SBA378103160
These were used on the 1320, 1520, 1620, 1720, T1510, T1520, TC30

I like looking on tractorhouse for dismantled machines.

For manuals Jensales is my choice. They have been in the manual business for 35 years, are based out of Minnesota, and are top notch folks to work with. You can get their manuals digital only, or digital and printed. The other option is to reach out to the dealer.

I do not have my reference books handy so I cannot provide you with the year, but its a moot point with tractors.

Welcome to TBN!
The date interpretation is correct.

I may have an op manual and possibly a service manual.
Are your rear fender lights amber round or square. I may have some good used ones.

Change your hydraulic fluid.

They are square, the lens facing the rear is red. I think the missing part that faces the tractor may be gray or black? It’s missing on both sides, go figure.

That would be awesome if you have the manual - let me know. Thanks!
