I am new to this forum and new to the world of John Deere Crawlers, or crawlers in general for that matter. I thought that all JD's were green

Anyhow, I'm an automotive engineer, but this stuff is all new to me. I bought a JD350 that came with a farm - seemed like a good idea at the time. It has been sitting for over 10 years and I am just now getting around to getting her running.
It was sold to me as a "1974 John Deere Bulldozer" on the bill of sale. I can not find a serial tag anywhere on the tractor or the engine. Not on the battery box. Not under the seat - just two holes where a tag may have once been. Nothing on top of the trans under the fuel tank. Has a little over 2000 hours on the clock. No tag under the fuel pump on engine either. Can you please help me determine just what I have ? Where should I be looking? sprockets casting is in about the most difficult rotation to access and it won't start (yet

Please excuse my ignorance as I learn - I have read a lot on this forum over the past few days.
I believe I have a reverser and it is the control handle on the left side of the dash? This makes it a "B"?
I think I have power steering looking under the seat?
I have an "inside"dozer/crawler?
It is a 3 cylinder diesel - that much I do know ...
I need to order manuals, do filters and fluids, maintenance etc but need to know what I have fist ...
What kind of blade do I have?
Hopefully this link to photos works
