Title: 3-53 help identify the year
Post by: shawn55 on March 31, 2014, 11:25:32 PM
Just wondering where the serial numbers are on a 3-53 so I can identify the year.

 The serial number and model number is stamped on the upper rear corner of the engine block. The numbers should start with 5033-xxxx and the serial number will be 3D-xxxx. A quick way to tell the year is check the governor housing tag as the year is usually stamped on it, unless someone changed it.
