Ser # question

[smoke67]

New to the site so hello to all...

I recently aquired a JD 301. I have searched until I am blue to try and find some info regarding the ser numbers but no luck. I am trying to at least fing out the year. Can anyone point me in the right direction.

here is a website that lists some of their lawn/garden tractors.. I dont see a 301 though..

TractorData.com - John Deere lawn and garden tractors sorted by model

good luck.. Hope this may help some

Take the # to your local dealer-they can tell you the year as well as when/where it was sold and any warranty/service work that was performed.

I have tried both above suggestions. TractorData shows a 301 in the industrial line up but lists no ser #'s.

I inquired at my local dealer today but they were not much help.

Any other sug?

Thanks

Can you post a pic.. maybe somehow the decals (assuming that is where you are getting the 301) are incorrect.. OR just post a pic of the VIN, maybe someone can help decipher it that way..

Just found it guys, after three days of searching. I have a 1975...

Found it here Howard & Sons John Deere Equipment Serial Number locator.

Thanks for the help...

Now I will be looking for some gauges....
