For the first “B” of the 1938 model year, the Deere book lists tractor number 46175. That tractor was built on Oct. That could make some sense, however; out of about 40 model “B” tractors built that day, ole 46175 was the one with the highest serial number. For the first “B” of the 1938 model year, the Deere book lists tractor number 46175. That tractor was built on Oct. That could make some sense, however; out of about 40 model “B” tractors built that day, ole 46175 was the one with the highest serial number. Here are the serial numbers for the various styles of John Deere 40 tractors. Please note there are two sets of numbers. One set indicates the calendar break of the serial numbers - tractors built from January 1 to December 31 of that year.

T0581 is the type code (see below)
001,001M is the serial number
Identification Codes for SN under 10,001 (1968 models) Note-- Some codes are used that mean different things in different years, so you must have the serial number to figure out the proper code.

Note--A sales bulletin that shows until approximately November 25 of 1968 that the 1968 type codes were used, meaning the first few 1969 models may have 1968 type codes, but they would have all the 1969 model features.
