John2189 546 #1 Posted June 8, 2020 Hi where is the serial number tag? It does have a missing panel under the dash. If the tag was there, why would they put it on a removable panel? john Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 23,307 #2 Posted June 8, 2020 That is most likely where it was. Sometimes under the seat (if your seat flips up), and sometimes on the left side of the tower. You have to remember, these are not Corvettes with VIN numbers, and keeping them running like we do here means things get moved around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 23,307 #3 Posted June 8, 2020 Looks like the 8 speed C-165 was only made in 1981 and 1984. The 1981 model # 01-16K802 the 1984 model # 11-16K801. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can get it tomorrow Serial will tell what year Kohler made the engine. Those are listed in the front of the Kohler service manuals. Tractor will be same model year or the following model year. They used 2 different spec numbers in the 3 model years according to the info we have. If they do not tell us what the model number is it should determine what it isn't.
