That last number 5 makes a lot of difference. The first number made it a 54 model but with 20A1455 that is a very late 56. There were #400 to 1459 made in 56. catskinner

hey thats cool kinda narrows down the build date to the last month or so in 56

thanks Old Magnet

well

had a tree in the pasture that got some damage from snow this year
the fence was behind it so we hooked a couple chains to it and pulled it away from the fence
and the building there in the back ground . the trees were leaning hart towards the building there was a total of 4 trees
the 977 did good till id got warmed up it still ran good but the clutch faded as it got good and hot .
let me know if yall can see the video i posted its on a facebook page



this is a video of the big 977 cat

hey guys

its been a while since i posted on this 977 . but with recent events on the 933 clutch adjustment im really pleased with doing it .
i mean i think i have a handle on whats going on ion these old tractors and their clutch adjustment .

i need to work on the 933 brakes first . the clutch is doing great pulling hard .
if i can fix this 977 in the same manner i think ill have a working machine
im going to look into it this week i hope and see whats going on and then try and adjust it like i did on the 933

im really happy about the clutch repair and i was able to do it with only 6 beers haahah

thanks all for your support
cheers
