The T-800 went out of production in the early '70's and was repalced by the T-810. When this took place, I don't know and I know naught when CCIL switched from the T-800 to T-810. On my T-810, the CCIL data plate is on the front right side of the cab. The CCIL plate would have the date of manufacture on it. I know the earlier T-810's (circa 1974) had a sticker mounted on the left side of the console with dyno testing data and other such things on it. Again on my tractor, stamped into the frame is type (Swd: typ) number with the date "MAR 78" stamped below. This would be right on the lower frame bar on the right side of the engine. There are three resources you can try for CCIL. Two are in Alberta, one in Manitoba (where I am). You can phone Larry Trudeau at LTD Enterprises, in Winnipeg at (204)-663-7727. You may also try Charbeck Ag & Industrial (I have never tried them) who were CCIL dealers at one time and may still have knowledgeable staff. Their phone number is (403)-787-2288. Another Alberta-based dealer is Vegreville Implements, I have phoned them on more than one occassion, their number is (780)-632-2514. You can also e-mail Niklas Larsson of Sweden. He runs a BM-Volvo web-page and while he has little techincal knowledge, he could possibly help with the dating of the tractor and can tell a T-800 from a T-810 by sight. On his pages, there are some photos that might help by comparing them to your BM-Volvo. You can e-mail him at bmsidan@comhem.se Hope the above info helps. Ivan
