Sorry for the late reply - power was off for a day here due to wacky weather.
Tinkerer, the shop manual I ordered covers the B and C series 680 ck. The serial # for mine falls in the "B" series range but nowhere does the book mention production years. This machine has the Case A267 c.i. diesel engine and hydraulic brakes.
Digger, I agree, the year isn't really important - I mean the machine is 35 years and likely + some. It runs nice and is strong as an ox - but very heavy and oddly enough, offers no diff. lock.
Tinkerer I'll pm you the sn if you want to see if you can determine the year. I'm just curious. The guy I bought it from was so sure it was a 75 and I just assumed it was until I began to research the machine a bit more.
Anyway, Thanks for the replies.
I'm in the process of sprucing the big, ole Gurl up w/ a bunch of new hoses, fluids, filters, lights, wiring, glass and fresh paint.
Another 'before' view
