TT-(Moderator) 1,129 #5 Posted December 15, 2012 :woohoo: Post the engine numbers when you can, but I'm going to say it's an 854 All of the 754 serial numbers I have seen are very high 47000 to lower/mid-48000 The serial number on my newest 854 is 45297 - no too far off from the serial number on yours.

TT-(Moderator) 1,129 #14 Posted December 16, 2012 The engine numbers are correct for a 754 but the tractor serial number doesn't fit in with the rest of them. It's hard to imagine that one solitary 754 made it across the big pond, but it's possible. Can you post pictures of the battery area, the lower steering shaft where the ties rods attach, and the side of the hoodstand above the drive belt guard?

TT-(Moderator) 1,129 #16 Posted December 16, 2012 I honestly don't know what to tell you, Vincent. It's more like the 754/854 models here in the USA, but why does it have that 753 sticker? :scratchead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lars 526 #17 Posted December 17, 2012 Nice tractor vincent... would love to have one like that front engined round hood ill dunno what it is but im sure it is a tractor that is build in US.... i dont think thay build that tractor in belgium, because the factory in belgium din't open before spring of 69.. (The spring of 1969 saw the opening of a new plant in Geel, Belgium called Amnor N. V. ) this is from wheel horse history.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,551 #18 Posted December 17, 2012 The highest 1963 serial number I've seen happens to be for 753 serial 47957 Vincent's is next 753 serial 45681 The next is 753 serial 44594 These 3 make up batch 15 of 15 for the 753 so far. These numbers are a long ways apart so anything is possible. Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

meadowfield 2,545 #23 Posted December 18, 2012 great find, like many Euro horses it has inevitably ended up a hybrid of many. That's the cool thing when so many parts are interchangeable! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
