1250 serial # question
 

i picked up an old 1250 for free (missing the wheels/tires, motor has busted rod thats why it was free) but i am confused on how to read the serial # to find the year and other info about it, i've looked at other posts about serial #'s but still makes no sense to me LOL.. anyway here is the # on mine if anyone knows how to read them, and can tell me what the #'s mean.
