I have become the recipient of a D4. I need information on how to find the model number. I found, cast on the left side of the engine block 6F3787. I am trying to verify if this is the model number. Also, if anyone has information where I can fine the serial number, it would certainly be helpful. I have no operation or maintenance manual so I hope I can fine same. Any help would be appreciated.

On my D42T there is also a brass tag with identical stamping on the starting engine left side right above the starting pionion lever. It is from when the tractor was taken to the Granite City Engineer Depot for work. They tagged the main and the starting engine identically. My winches cover the rear tractor stamp. Someday I will see what it is.

Willie,
For most of the pictures I have I have been able to directly post them here (since JB upsized the allowed file size). This particular one I had to resize to a 750 px width size as it would not fly at 800 px. Other than the quota thing I have not had any other problems but I am no fan of this thumbnail thing.
