738 Serial Numbers


Guest

Recommended Posts

My 738 Broadmoor has a silver/black sticker on the sheet metal near the seat back that looks to read 898 12300. Is this the serial number? The mower deck is tagged 894 C12623. Any way to tell the exact year? There's a recess in the steering wheel hub. Did it originally come with a cover insert? Just bought this old gal and interested in info on the 738's. Any peculiarities I should expect? Thanks for the help.

Hi - I have a whole bunch of Broadmoors - two 738s (like yours), a recently renovated 728, and a recently acquired 707 (or thereabouts). It's a great tractor. With respect to yours, the number you described ('898 12300') is the last three digits of Manufacturing ID ('898') and serial number ('12300'). The whole Manufacturing ID is '990898'. Use this number when referencing your machine (ordering parts, etc). The model year of your tractor is 1973/74. The recess in the steering wheel is where a Simplicity logo insert goes. Good luck with your tractor. Regards, Tom Kelly
