Hey guys. Ive just added an early 80s 116 to the heard that I got cheap. Im trying to figure out what year it is. Tractor data doesnt have in the serial number breakdowns any denote for "c" only a and b. Any info or a site that may be helpful would be greatly appreciated. It is a twin 16hp briggs with the hydro trans, electric clutch and the 38" deck. The serial is-m00116c293043. Thanks a bunch.
