Model Number from VIN
 

The VIN on my old tractor is 2050660U580584 - anyone know how to find out the model number from the VIN?

1450 - March 1976

205 = Factory Code for Garden Tractor
0660 = Factory Code for 1450
U = Made in the USA
580584 = the sequential serial number

You're welcome! :Cub7:
No problem, glad you asked

OK, for a complete newb -- when I see one in the junkyard, is there a way to identify it? Or would I need to post a picture on this site?

Not often, but occasionally I come across one. Most recently, I found one in the recycling yard - frame, hood, rear axle. Have no idea how to identify it to see if anyone would want parts. Didn't have a camera with me at the time, either.

Thanks,
Mike

Using the serial number is one way.

Thanks! I found another site that has serial numbers going back to 1961. If it is accurate, this would be a good resource and pretty easy to print & toss in the glove box.

Does anyone have a sheet for the long vin numbers that has the different factory codes and serial, like what Roland is using
