    Default JD year identification

    Just bought a JD project but do not know what year it is. Where is the frame # located? I have a lower end twin motor and the boss where the S/N usualy is is blank. It has not been ground off and looks like there was never a number there. Has correct HD markings on right case. Has straight gear housing so probably generatot model? and has outside oil pump mount. Holes in conecting rods. Left case marked "2-25" in raised numerals.

    after looking at your photos i believe you have somewhere between a 1925-29 jd model. but the color is a bit off.

    i was being a wise ass with the photos. yes 28 motor parts will fit. looks like the frame has so much paint that you will never see the frame #'s.
