Cadet 95 S/N dilemma

[Baccarat]

I recently acquired a Cadet 95e. In the deal it also included a second rolling chassis with the traction motor, tranny & rear end. The full blown machine has a scratch line on the S/N that wiped out the second last digit. All I read is 0340020U0084?1. There are only 10 options available. I plan on looking up the registry list and hopefully eliminate 9 other numbers and revealed the one missing one which should then be mine.

The rolling chassis has a full S/N of 0340020U007594.

Is my simplest option to restore the roller and then put all of the good parts from the 1st unit onto it and register as the second number? Or, would that be a no-no.

0084?1

That is the sequential serial number and has NOTHING to do with options.

0340020U

034 = Rear Engine Rider

0020 = Factory Code for the 95E model

U = Made in the USA

I think he meant "options" as in options for the missing digit; there are 10 digits from 0-9 and he wants to figure out what that digit is so he can register his machine.

I thought he was talking about "model options".

Yes indeedie, Lindstrom hit the nail on the head.

I had learned all the S/N info and meanings in previous research. I am still wondering about swapping out the frames and using the known full S/N in instead. I wouldn't want to commit a mortal sin and spend an addition month in purgatory.

The once or twice I bumped into the registry site it always wants me to register my machine first. I'm not sure where I can go to "Look Up" existing registered machines.

Why not just register the one you know, and then look to see if you can figure out the digit on the unknown?

I hadn't thought of it in that fashion. I was more focused on the running one because the chassis one was more of secondary issue and would require more intense work. I didn't want to completely tear down the runner and put it all on the secondary chassis. As a result, I was totally focused on the runner first.

Thanks for the mental tweak to rewire my thought process.
