The serial number says it was made by John Deere before 1991.
So its a 1970's or 80's machine, possibly as late as '90 or '91. but no later.
I dont know of any way to get a specific year from the JD serial number..


the Tecumseh model and serial numbers can give more clues..

I called my local JD dealer, they told me the year.

 

Thanks for the feedback. Ill stop there next trip to Escanaba.

Anyhow here is the info off the motor that I did not see before, it was partialy covered by the electric starter button housing.

HM100 159038H Serial #2250? ( The last digit was not fully legible, looked to be E or F ) but I found that was just the line is was fabricated on.

Motor Looks to be made in either 1972 or 1982 ( I would reakon 1982 ) in September of that year. But without knowing when the snowblower itself was built, that would the only way to validate year of motor.


Thanks for the help,
Dave

Definitely 1982.
10HP wouldn't have been used in '72, so it has to be '82.

Hello and welcome to SBF. I would guess your machine is a 1982? Here is a link to the Deere 1032 service manual which covers the engine and the blower sections. A picture of your machine might help finding the year. Good luck.

Thanks Grunt! Got it

 

Are you sure it's an eight at the end of #22508 ??

What I'm used to on a five digit number is the first two would be the year, 2022 ?? So that's wrong and the other three are the day of the year manufactured. No 508th day ??
If it's an E at the end it would be made before 2004 with 2 being the last digit of the year 1972-1982-1992-2002 and the 250th day Oct 7th.
From the blowers serial number I'd also guess 70's or 80's as it's a real JD - JD.

If you don't get any help from the dealer post a couple photos of it.

You mentioned a carb issue. Had it been running ok last year? If so you might be able to clear it up with something like a cleaner added to the gas. A measured amount of Lucas is my favorite.
As for a major overhaul I'd use the JD site to look up parts and then take the part number and shop around to look for best price. Some times it's only a dealer part, sometimes the dealer has a good price but usually I've found if I can get it online it's cheaper.
I have two JD riders and two blowers so I'm always looking for a deal.

I did determine it wasn’t an 8 at the end, after cleaning what was there a little better the last digit looks to be maybe F or E as it is blurred some due to electric start button housing overlapped there and caused some deterioration, but the rest of the motor numbers were for sure as they were legible.

Just so happens I have a bottle of the Lucas on the shelf and will try. I used some seafoam and it helped some.

Thanks!

 

Thank you!

 

Thanks for all the help and info all! I’ll get some pics taken and post later

 

Your engine's birthday is September 7th, 1982.

According to my local Deere dealer your blower itself is a 1984!!!

 

Fantastic; thank you very much for help!

 

Wait how many numbers on that engine ID????? It has to be 4 numbers with a letter as the Fifth......


Any chance that first Digit is a 3..........Like 3250E/F?????


I assume you removed two screws holding on Electric starter plug/button on top of engine shroud and looked underneath???

 

Wait how many numbers on that engine ID????? It has to be 4 numbers with a letter as the Fifth......

Yes, you are correct, it had 5, the 5th was not legible though; best I can see it’s a F or an E

Yeap, had to remove the start button button hsg to look underneath for number. But yes, it was 22508 with a letter on the end of that number. Either E or F

Thanks!

 

Double check that first number on that Engine Serial number?????

 

If for any reason that first number of the serial is a three the engine's birthday is still September the 7th but now 1983. Day did not change.

 

Good luck nice JD a 1032.

 

All the Deere dealers around here roll their eyes and dismiss you with a "We don't support equipment that old, can't help you, have a nice day." If you don't have something modern, they don't want to give you the time of day. Understandably so I suppose. When John Deere stopped making their own blowers in the early 90s, they essentially stopped being a JD.

 

So engine is 1982(previous 1982 birthday mentioned) and Body is 1984.



Good years ENJOY the JD. Love the body style. To the Ariens boys.....is that a TRUE JD or and Ariens rebadge????........Full JD right???

 

Yes, full JD.
Ariens made JD snowblowers 1991 to 2001.

Scot

 

Ariens made SOME of the JD blowers from 91 to 01. Murray made a bunch as well, usually starting with TRS or TRX such as TRS-32 which is what I have- Murray Built 32 inch 10 HP Techumseh. The engine is nice the rest sucks
