Ford 555 Backhoe Loader

I have purchased a Ford 555 Backhoe Loader serial # CB24045. What is the year? Could it be a 555 Special? Tractor Data has limited info. Thanks in advance for your time and knowledge.

In addition to the serial number you
should have a Unit Code and a Model Code.
The Unit Code is a number-letter-number-
number-letter and specifies the production
date. Post this number, or search on the
web how to decode. First number is year,
letter is month, next two numbers are day
of month, and last letter is shift.

If a 555 the model code should start with
DF and next number should be 3,4,5,or 6.

Also CB24045 is the serial number for the backhoe, not the entire Tractor Loader Backhoe. The serial number for the TLB starts with a C and is followed by 6 numeric digits. Look for a data plate. If you can't find the data plate the serial number, unit number, and model code might be stamped into a flat spot on the bell housing where the starter bolts in.
