I look at a ford TLB yesterday. The guy said it was a 1985 4500 series. It look more like 70's than 80's to me. Does anyone know the year it might be. The serial #'s are *C21399A*. It is a 3 cyl diesel if that helps.

There should be a production code stamped on a small horizontal flat machined surface on the bellhousing on the RHS next to the serial number. I had a 4500TLB (long gone now), serial C169768 . The production code was 7C27, which means it was built on March 27, 1967.

The first digit in the production code is the year: 5=1965, 6=1966, etc. up to 4=1974 (after that I don"t know), second digit (letter) is the month: A=January, B=February, etc., but they skip I, so M=December, and the last 1 or 2 is/are the day of the month. There could also be a shift code (A, B, C) after that.

I had that old unit for 17 years. It did a lot of work and needed few repairs.

That would be between 1965 and the early 70's.
