What does the letter following my model number mean? John Deere 40, 420 and 430 model tractors had many different variations. Each variation has a letter which is on the serial number tag after the model number. These are the letters for each model:
- Crawler designation is “C”
- Hi-Crop designation is “H”
- Special Utility designation is an “I”
- Orchard designation is an “O”
- Row-Crop Standard is “RC”
- Standard designation is “S”
- Tricycle designation is “T”
- Utility designation is a “U”
- Special designation is “V”
- Row-Crop Utility designation is “W”
For example, if your serial number tag has “420 – W,” then your tractor is a 420 Row-Crop Utility.

My husband passed away in August, he has John deer tractor I have had many people make offers to purchase. How do I get an idea of what it’s worth, not to be taken advantage of. rachelledaigle04@gmail.com
