As far as I know, there isn't an way to determine the paint color from the serial number. My advice would be --- paint it the way you like it. Me --- I would use Dark Gray Semi Gloss. It wasn't blue. It was gray. Take a look to see if there isn't a month and year date stamped into the rear...

Sounds like it is out of fuel. I assume that you've repeated this sequence several times --- i.e. runs for 30 seconds then quits??? Yes??? If so, check the tank for restrictions leaving the tank. May be partially plugged fuel line ------

Can you not just compare the two? Are the linkage systems the same? Make the 04 look like the 05 and try it. If you don't like what you get, put it back to where you started.

You're in a hurry? I have a B20 -- top speed 6 mph.

A fair amount has already been written on the subject --- more trouble than it's worth. Might just as well buy another tractor that has what you want. Use the forum "Search" feature above and type in "engine swap".

Clean the air filter? Change the fuel filter?

Assuming that's the problem, Super UDT ----------

So, be a little clearer --- what's the problem?

I don't think you'll get a lot of response --- there are a lot of reasons why they aren't interchangeable. If you want to give a try, go ahead. Search and you shall find -------

Tell us more about the help that you need. I don't think that you'll find a lot of options here --- you pretty much need to use what you have or an identical replacement. This isn't a Chevy 350.

You need a Workshop Manual (WSM). They can be ordered from a dealer --either your local dealer or an on-line dealer (www.messicks.com or www.tractorsmart.com). Or keep your eye on E-Bay ---- a used, original manual will be better than the reprints that they sell as new manuals today. I'm not...
