I have a '56 JD 420 wide front with serial 88677. It currently has no yellow stripe with the 420 decal low on the front side metal. The decal has been painted over in a poor attempt at cleaning up the paint. I have tried to verify that it is supposed to be green with no stripe but everywhere I look I see that they all have the stripe. My father-in-law told me that '56 was the year that they changed from no stripe to the stripe and it depends on the serial #. I am planning on completely restoring this tractor in the near future. Thank you.

Scott in MO,

According to the serial number you gave you have a 1956 model year, or Phase I as they are called, 420. They were painted all green. The rest of the 20 series wasn't introduced till the 1957 model year and they got the yellow stripe on the hood and nose cone along with the Phase II 420. For the 1958 model year the 420, and 320 too, got the slant steering wheel and that 420 was known as the Phase III. Hope this helps.

Jim
