Anyone know how to tell the differences of hst vs hst-3?

TIA!

One difference is;the HST use a lever for PTO engagement ,the HST-3 uses a pull-up button.I am sure there are other differences also.

If your seat swivels about 15 degrees left and right, then you have the HST-3.

None of the above, so must be a 1 or 2..

Thx

Woa, what?!
I have an HST-3 L3940. My seat swivels?

Yep the stock seat on an L40 HST-3 swivels. There is a pedal right in the front you pull up on and swivel until it clicks and locks in place.

The C means Cab. That part should be obvious... Not sure what they added later on with the 2-speed HST motor or the auto throttle stuff. Maybe that was there from the beginning.

My older M9 is an HDCC3 which denotes Hydraulic Shuttle Cab Creep gears which adds 3 ranges to the gearbox. Note, the 2 speed pto (540 / 1000) has no model letter designation.

My seat swivels as well and it's air ride too.

That's exactly what I don't understand. Does the 3 mean 3 ranges? I have cab, lever PTO, auto throttle advance, turtle/rabbit speeds....

Woods says they have a subframe but it's for HSTC-3

Does your tractor have at serial number sticker on dash? My M7040 does and it shows my tractor is a HDC-1 so your model might be listed on sticker if it has one.
