Yesterday. When he bought it he was told it was a 1997 engine. He has now been told that it is probably much older. Does anyone know where he can get a definitive age using the serial number???
Make? Size? Colour? (livery sometimes gives a clue to age) HP?, and as You say serial No.?
All these ,if not Some , at least, would help .
Else We are Peeing agin the Wind!
An eng of that age or Older as You mention, needs as much info as poss to identify
Just the serial No.s on their own twould be difficult to pin point the begger!
