Default How to decipher MFG date?
Just bought a 1210 this morning, and while I think the serial # indicates that it was built 1986 (2050603U 754074) I have no clue about the MFG date (B096G). Would someone please explain the meaning of that letter/number combination? Thank you in advance!

B= February

09 = ninth day of the month

G= 1987

I would respectfully disagree.

The code I have states this:

B= 2nd month or FEB
09 = Day of Manufacture
6 = Last digit of the year - 1986
G = Manufacturing Plant

Thus, your tractor was made 02/09/86 in Plant G.

Thanks for sharing that info, I guess the info I got on how to decode wasn't the most accurate.

Sorry for the necropost, but I'm just getting into the CC game.

Tractor is a AGS 2130 made from 94-99, according to Tractor Data

My date code is D186G3

So: Apr 18 1996?

Why can't they just stamp the actual date on so us mere mortals can read it without a decoder ring? SMH

Tim

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
