* Indicates that we do not have any records from John Deere that it was shipped to Lindeman Power Equipment Co., it could have been made into a Lindeman from a kit.
** Indicates the first of regular production 2nd generation flat back the First one was the one that was made for the military demonstration serial # 330986.
Please share your serial number with the world! E-mail me or go to the contact page, fill out the form with your name, address, (phone number, photo not required but helpful) and I will add it to our list of surviving BO Lindeman Crawlers. When you submit your serial number, I will ship to you free of charge a copy of The Lindeman Story and Beyond DVD along with a certificate with any information we have on your Lindeman Crawler (i.e., ship date from John Deere and any previous owners that I have listed in the archives).
Hello Ted, Is there anyway you have the 1st generation back plate and 2nd generation back plate reversed? My Lindeman 332215 and Bob Smythe’s 331719 has the same back plate, and it looks just like the 1st gen flat back not the 2nd gen. Have any ideas why?
Hi Steven, I just rechecked, the photos are correct. Yours and Bobs should be the second generation. The only visible things that are different are the part numbers. First generation # is TE401 and the second is TE401A, notice the boss just to the left of the seat bracket on the first gen. is squared off and the one on the second gen is tapered.
I mistakenly gave you the incorrect serial number (332941) when I first contacted you. I actually is 332921, which I just verified by looking at your serial number list and seeing Bob Sheckler, who sold it to me. Sorry for the confusion.
I just purchased JD BO Lindeman/w blade ser# 332941 from Bob n Susie Sheckler in Sumner, Wa. I live in Buckley, Wa. Very interesting, looking at your registration list, my neighbor’s relative has one just a few miles from me, George Tibeau, also in Sumner, Wa.
Hi Neil,
Congratulation on becoming a Lindeman owner. Send me you mailing address and I will send any information I have on your Lindeman plus a DVD of the Lindeman story and beyond. I have 6 Lindemans registered to George Tibeau.
