Could someone please help me find a build date for our older 950 Wheel Loader? The Serial number is 81J4696 Thank you!
Your 950 was built in early 1972. Serial numbers for 1972 ran from 81J04346 to 81J05405. It came from the factory fitted with a 3304 model engine, which has an engine arrangement number starting with 78P.
Welcome to HEF!! The 950 was the first loader I operated, the company I worked for had one, it was old, tired, noisy and LOOSE!!! My first experience was being dropped off at the gravel bank and tasked with driving it 3 miles back to the shop. I was white knuckling it the whole way! The steering pins were so sloppy it I zigzagged the entire trip. In the gravel bank it did what it was supposed to, load trucks. It was very reliable and could load 15 yards in 5 or 6 buckets. Post some pics when you have a chance!
