Hi,

Serial number says 1971 450B.

This is just my opinion BUT, if you look at that S/N tag and realize it has a zero as the first digit and should end in T for DeBuque the serial number is probably showing a 1969 450 straight crawler/loader with a replacement engine. This is just my opinion but I am sticking to it until proven wrong, as I have been before.

Hi,

I don't know. The photos don't load. Just a bunch of question marks. So, I went by the list. The first serial is six digits, ends with a T, which is a crawler serial. The one at the bottom on the list looks like the loader serial number. Seven digits. No ending T. Yes, starts with a zero but one digit too long....

Either way the thing 'tain't an 89.

The pictures work for me and One picture on what appears to be the block between the lift pump and starter is a tag that has "type M53TE s/n 128482T" and the other picture shows a tag (somewhere) with "type T5E3M s/n 083566T". I rest my case except this is a J Deere.
My '67 Case 580 CK has no tags except one painted over on the #33 hoe that CNH said was built in '67 and that is how I dated it. I found holes or rivits in multiple places. LOL

PurpleWave doesn't verify info given from the seller- I have seen inaccuracies like this numerous times on there and even people overpaying on their bids because of it.

Well it ended at $7260. Is someone on here the new owner?
