John Deere Serial Number Search
You may be surprised to learn that not all John Deere lawn tractors sport traditional green and yellow. Finale software. In 1969, John Deere produced lawn tractors with customized hoods and seats in four colors: red, orange, yellow and blue. The entire tractor, other than the hood and seat, was painted white. By 1971, John Deere ceased making colored lawn tractors due to a lack of sales. Pinpointing the age of a vintage John Deere lawn tractor is as simple as checking its color. For traditional green and yellow tractors, determining their age takes a little investigating.
Just bought a used GT 235 with a 44 inch Pirahna deck. The mulching blades have been replaced to make the deck a rear discharge. Someone's got a nice 54C deck advertised on the local Craigslist ( ) and I'm trying to find out if I can use it with this tractor. I can't seem to find a place to decode the tractor serial number to get more specific information about it.
I signed up at but I get no results for the serial number. Is there anyplace on the internet that I can find this stuff out? Edit: After poking around TBN a little, it appears through some other threads that this info is apparently available only through the dealer network. Most likely via the parts & service departments. At any rate, would any of Deere guys here have any idea if this deck would work on the tractor? Tractor serial number is MOG235A016330 if that helps anyone.
