Hi Josh,
All I can tell you on production is the serial numbers went from 1W5001 - 1W5779.
Hey Josh--for a 17 year old you certainly have a lot of machines!
Tecnically they are half mine and half my younger brothers except for the D4400 power unit which is all mine.😄 We have grown up around machinery and we were allways working on something from the time we could hold a wrench. We also have several parts tractors. We are very proud of our collection as are all collectors. I have aquired a lot of inforation on these machines at young age of which I'm greatful. I learned a lot on here on the BB over the past several years reading posts. We've been fortunate to get a lot of it at good prices and also some has been given to us.😊 I would still like to know what year these pans are specificly if any body knows. Thanks, Josh.

1W5134 was manufactured in 1950; 1W5744 in 1956 Take note that at S/N 1W5664 changes were made that updated wheels and tires. Wheels changed from bolt on rim to integral cast rim and tires changed from 11.00 x 20 tube type to 12.00 x 21 tubeless. The later 21" tubeless tires are impossible to buy new or used. Compare wheels/tires in the attached photos.![]()
