How old is this Ariens machine?
Original Message   Dec 20, 2005 8:33 pm
I have a 1028 Ariens.  Serial 002513.   Is it possible to extract the date of manufacture from the serial number?

Thanks.

Need the model # too. It is a six digit number that starts with 910, 922, 932, 924, 926, 938, etc...

Sir, some model #'s were produced for many years.

If you call Ariens Customer Service they can tell you. That's how I found out our machine was a 1970.

JDogg,

My book shows the 924044 as being manufactured  in 1978 & 1979.  Engine was a Tec HM 100 159024C.

Goldfish - Can't help you. Too new for my lit. However ........... Ariens' site has a downloadable owners manual for your ST 1028 dated 9/97.

Thanks everyone.  I think the machine is about 4 years old.  Was just curious.

Merry Christmas!

932104's were manufactured ~ midyear 2003 to possibly January 2004. I can get you the exact date of manufacture for your particular unit tomorrow.

Doh! My mistake. You said 924104 not 932104....

The manufacture date for your model and serial number was 10/28/1998, it shipped the same day it was produced and was sold on 8/26/2000.
