KC9KAS 4,744 #1 Posted March 29, 2015 Several folks commented that my 520 H wasn't a 1996 as I had thought. Here is the tag, and I would like to know what year it is, and I am sorry for incorrectly stating it was a 1996. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SgtBob 27 #2 Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) Its a 1994 If you reverse the first two numbers of the serial number on these models it will give you the model year and the last numbers is the sequential one made for the year making your the 952nd one made in 1994 Edited March 29, 2015 by SgtBob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt-NEPA 755 #3 Posted March 29, 2015 I agree, its a 1994, the serial numbers beginning with 49 are the 1994 model. Mine starts with 39, its a 1993. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KC9KAS 4,744 #6 Posted March 29, 2015 Thanks for the information. When I 1st got it and looked up the model number I thought it was a 1996, but later saw several different years with the same model number. Now I know for sure! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red-Bovine 334 #7 Posted March 30, 2015 My 520H serial # is 2001***. It was purchased in April of 1992. I'm sure it is not a 2002 year model. So the reverse numbers apparently do not work in all cases. Red Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cleat 7,253 #8 Posted March 30, 2015 This is the ID tag from the 520HC I am currently restoring. I believe it is a 1989. Cleat 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
