The B at the beginning means it was assembled at the plant in Basildon UK, and the fact that the number starts with an 8 means that it was made to be sold into the 'Domestic' UK market. Look at the B's at the beginning of the serial number and at the end of the Unit Number as a comparison, as those are definitely B's.Į1017C is a general purpose ag chassis 5000 with a diesel engine, Independent 540 rpm PTO and an 8 speed transmission.ī899471 is the serial number.
The E has little tails on the ends if the upper and lower horizontal parts that sort of make it look like a B. I am pretty sure that the first letter in the model number is an E.
