MTD`s current (1997 and later) model and serial numbers are generally 11 characters in length. A character could be a number, dash or a letter. If 0 represented all numbers and/or dashes and X represented all letters, the model and serial numbers should appear as follows: 00XX000X000.
Details. What year was my equipment built? The 5th character of our 11 character product serial numbers will indicate the last number of the year that it was manufactured. Since 5th character in the example is a 4, the year of manufacture would be a year ending in 4.
The MTD model number can be found on your equipment`s identification tag, located in one of several places on your machine. This tag is approximately 2“ x3“ in size and also includes the product name, customer service address, and phone number. Enter the model number of your MTD below to search for parts.
To Determine Manufacture Date Based on Serial Number: The 1st three numbers of your serial number will always provide your manufacture date. The 1st number is the YEAR of manufacture; the 2nd & 3rd numbers indicate the MONTH of manufacture. Please see the detailed explanation and examples provided below.
For Android, look for your serial number in “Settings > About Phone”. You can usually find the serial number on the back of the phone or in the case it comes in.
To determine the year of manufacture for a tractor with a six digit number use the following formula. Take the first and the fourth digit, and subtract three to get the year. For example, the serial number of 395602 would be: 36-3 = 1933.

The model number represents a specific type of machine made by a manufacturer while the serial number is specific to your machine.
Every lawnmower, engine and appliance has a specific model number and serial number. This is like the VIN on your car. It is the secret number to discover all the parts and accessories that are unique to your product.
For push mowers, the lawn mower engine model number is generally the number stamped into metal directly on your engine. Some push mower engines come with a cover or “shroud”. It should be noted that these covers come in a variety of colors, sizes and shapes.
MTD`s regional brands include Troy-Bilt® in the Americas, Rover® in the Pacific, and WOLF-Garten® in Europe. The portfolio also includes Remington®, Yard Machines®, Columbia®, and MTD Genuine Parts® brands, all primarily sold in the Americas; and Robomow® which is sold in the Americas, Europe and the Middle East.
A serial number is a unique identifier assigned incrementally or sequentially to an item, to uniquely identify it.
The two letters at the beginning of the serial number tell you the month and year it was made. Where is my model and serial number located? The first letter identifies the month. The second letter is the year.
You cannot. There is no function or method to finding a device using the serial number for it.
Each model number is made up of a combination of numbers and letters to help customers determine the tractor`s configuration. The first number in the model number represents the series or family the tractor belongs to. John Deere makes nine series of tractors that range from 1 to 9.
To determine the year of manufacture for a tractor with a six digit number use the following formula. Take the first and the fourth digit, and subtract three to get the year. For example, the serial number of 395602 would be: 36-3 = 1933.
What is MTD? MTD stands for “month to date.” It`s the period starting from the beginning of the current month up until now … but not including today`s date, because it might not be complete yet.
The engine serial number is on a metal plate attached to the block, typically found on the left-hand side of the engine. The position of the engine plate varies across different engine series.
