Below was posted before. So if it holds true on older models ? It looks like if his serial number starts with 600 it would be an 83 or if it starts with 595 it is an 82 John Deere made heads and combine serial numbers fairly easy to translate. The breakdown goes like this. All serial numbers you are interested in, end with 6 numbers. The first three will identify year model. I will give you some examples and they break like this. 1989 starts with 630xxx. 1990-635xxx 1991-640xxx and so on. 1998-675xxx, 1999-680xxx, 2000-685xxx, 2001-690xxx, and so on. 5000 numbers available for each year production.
