The Serial Number Guide is the leading source for year-of-manufacture data on all major and hard-to-find construction equipment.

The use of this exclusive source of information makes this Serial Number Guide the most comprehensive resource available. The format of the Serial Number Guide follows the standard practice of listing serial numbers either by a machine’s make and model (and in some cases, Caterpillar being one, by serial number prefix) or by its manufacturer only when one set of numbers covers all categories and all models in a product line. Numbers are listed lowest to highest for known numbers assigned to machines in each given year.
What do the bobcat numbers mean? * 1st digit is the size of the machine, the larger the number the larger the machine. * 2nd digit used to indicate the generation of the machine. (20s series, 30s series, 40s series). The 2nd digit now is an indicator of the frame & lift arm design of the machine. 5 means a standard wheelbase.
In some cases, because of the system a manufacturer may use to assign numbers, it is necessary to assign an arbitrary cutoff to the range of numbers for a given year. In these cases our team of analysts uses UCC filings to determine the most accurate cutoff points possible. There are many manufacturers of equipment, past and present, that embed codes or use unique combinations of numbers in particular places in the serial number string to designate the year of manufacture. Examples of these may be the use of a letter to indicate a year (e.g. A = 1987, B = 1988, etc.) or several digits to note a month and year (e.g. 1092 = October 1992).
