Hello 6k. The numbers you list look like part numbers and casting codes, not serial number. Look at Dave's picture as to where the serial number is on your tractor. A picture of your tractor would help. Look at the home page on this site, bottom left and there are listings of numbers, manuals etc. Good luck.

It will help you to find the important serial numbers by looking for numbers that have been STAMPED onto a machined surface [usually above the starter motor or near the injectors] and not the raised casting numbers and letters.
