Britton Baker 4 #1 Posted November 15, 2016 I have a 753 with the k161 engine and I think it is a 1962 but is it made In 1963 instaed because that is the only year I can find other 753s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,345 #2 Posted November 15, 2016 1963 only. The third digit (or last digit) is the year made, i.e 753 means it was made in 1963. The first digit is the hp, the second digit indicates electric start. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Racinbob 10,295 #4 Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) but I'm curious as to why you think it was made in 62. Is it possible that you do have a 62 but a belt guard from a 753 was put on it? Post a picture of it showing the front axle. There's a distinct difference between the 62 and 63. Edited November 15, 2016 by Racinbob 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,769 #5 Posted November 15, 2016 Chances are the serial number tag starts with a 62; the early 953s did too. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
