770 tractor years made

[kartvines]

Can any body tell me how to determine the age of my 770?
Can you tell by knowing the vin code?
My vin # is M00770A161090*.

Here's some general info


This site lists by Serial # but stops at 1996
By their serial # convention, I'd say yours is a 1997.

 

[kartvines]

thank you any other idea?

 

[bczoom]

I know of no other place unless you have some paperwork, receipts or otherwise that list the year.

Does the person you purchased it from know what year it is?

The info is from tractortips.com. Looks like that 770 must have been manufactured in '97 or '98.

Tough machine, the 770! I owned it's smaller brother, the 670 and now own the successor, a 790.

I really like 'em!

Your tractor is a 1997 model. The TractorData.com listing for the 770 now includes serial numbers through 1998.

Thanks Tractordata.

Yours was the first page/place I went but the serial #'s weren't there at the time. Thanks for updating.

BTW, welcome to TBN!!

Thank you very much , that is more information than I thought I would ever have.

 

[TractorData]

Thanks. The site is just a hobby, so I don't usually get around to updating anything unless someone asks for specific information.

 

[kartvines]

I went to the dealer where the tractor was sold, and you had more information than they did, saying that all of the older data is nolonger on the computer, since they were bought by Arizona Tractor.
