Raymond c 71 idont think the numbers you will identify the age of the tractor , the engine no is on a flat area approx under the number 1 injector , is punched on and not a cast number, the seirel number is on the bell housing between edge of engine adopter plate and bell housing on left side when sitting on tractor, it is also punched on . so you would have to clean it well to identify it propley.

These are the numbers you need to find.

Serial Number.

Image

Engine Number.

Image

The only number that is any use here is the K19D. All the others are just mould numbers and the same on every tractor.

Image

Number (upside down) on the trumpet housing.

There is another down here on the side of the axle housing and one on the other side trumpet housing.

She seems to be April 1961 by the casting codes. You still have not got the serial number though. It will start 957E then 5 numbers. The serial number is not the same as the engine No. on the Dexta, unlike the Major.
