Model and serial

[DieselDoctor]

Can someone help with deciphering the model and serial nos. from the tag on my 782D ? The data plate reads as follows -

Model -- 145882599
Serial -- 2050606U740972

I don't understand why the hood says 782D and the tag reads differently. I would also like to identify the year of mfg, etc. Thanks for any help given! Stan

Model number is on the hood. Serial number is the lower on, all numbers after the "U".

Year of MFG will be on the round sticker just behind the serial tag.

Here ya go.

Model #
145 --- built in 1985
882 --- all GT diesel tractors were 882's on the tag (782D, 882 & 1512)
399 --- that is a color code (399 = red 782D/ 100 = yellow & white 882 or 1512)

Ser#
205 --- Garden tractor
0606 --- That tells you it is a diesel 782D, 882 or a 1512
U740972 --- That is the serial number. The first machine built in 1985 was #737625 and the last was #747224

J-Mech is correct, the round tag to the right of the serial will tell you what month your machine was built.

Nice smoker!
