Im doing this by proxy...lol..all I got from the gentleman was the serial#.....  855902 and I can't really decode that from my logs and records...One step closer though!!!

Got all the answers I needed...It ends up being a late 1972 or 1973

Serial 855902 should be a 1972 model 1-0502-7 (7-5=2=1972)

 

This serial ends up in batch 1 of 3 batches recorded so far for 1972.

1-0502 was also used for the leftover they sold as1973 models from my understanding.....I think it may have been 1-0502-8 for 1973....

That is correct and Toro lists 1-0503 twice for 1972 also. Often wonder if that isn't a mistake.

Im not sure I understand the math here ....where does the 7-5 come from?

[gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,498]

At the time they were adding a -X to the end of the model numbers. If you subtract 5 from that 6th model number digit you get the model year. You will see -6, -7, -8, and -9 on the attachments at the time also representing the 1971, 1972, 1973, and 1974 model years.

 

I discovered this after I recorded many model years, model numbers and serial numbers. It was plain to see what they did.
