John Deere 68

Riding by this resale shop today and out front was a JD 68 rear engine rider. Cute little thing, couldn't pass it up, so for $150 we rolled it up into my pickup. She runs and cuts good. It has a 8hp Briggs. Wondering what year it is. # on back plate is:
A684D 033700M.
Did some searching and that # on right seems small if its a serial # so it must be an early model...1975???
Would like to get a manual for it but want to be sure to get right one.
Any help or comments on this model appreciated.

No pics yet. Gotta figure out how to do the pic thing. I have 3 Craftsman, 1 Murray and now the Deere. That little Green Machine looks good setting among those big boys.

The 65, 66 and 68 were mid-70's RER's. Check the JD parts site for info. Type in 68 for the model number...it's under 65, 66, 68 riders.

Thanks Rattosh51. I'll check it out. This little 68 is like a toy. I got a few acres here and enjoy just riding it around through the woods. It cuts excellent too.
