How to find tractor serial numbers:
TractorData.com lists tractor serial numbers under the individual model. Use the menu at the top to select your tractor manufacturer and model, the serial number list will be on the tractor's data page.

How to read a tractor serial number list:
Tractor serial number lists nearly always show the first tractor built in each year. The other tractors for that year will have successively higher numbers. Your serial number should lie between two of the stated numbers.

Example serial number list:
Year
Number
1980
501

1981
879
<<< 900
1982
1034
1983
2103


Example:Serial In this example, tractor serial number was 900 was built in 1981 because it is after the first serial number for 1981 but before the first number for 1982.

The list only shows the number from the first tractor built in eachyear. Unless you happen to have the first first tractor off theproduction line, then your particular number will not be on the list.Your number will lie between two listed numbers.

Find the TRACTOR serial number
There are usually a lot of different numbers on a tractor. The engine, front axle, and cab may all have their own serial numbers. Various components may have parts or casting numbers. Make sure you have actually found thetractor serial number, and not one of these other numbers.

Model years versus calendar years
Tractors, just like automobiles, are manufactured on a model or production year. The new production year usually starts around September. A tractor built in October of 1955 would have been considered a '1956' model. Serial number lists almost always show the production year, not the actual calendar year the tractor was built. This information is generally more useful, because major changes would have been made to a model at the start of the production year, not on January 1.

Read the number carefully
On older tractors, the serial number plate has often faded. Make sure you do not confuse a 7 for a 1. Also, ensure you have read the entire number.

If the plate has faded very badly, try making a rubbing of the imprint. Place a piece of tissue paper over the plate and rub gently with charcoal or a pencil. Another method is to color the number with a marker and then quickly wipe it off, hoping to leave ink in the stamping. Some people have found that they can read the number off the back side of the plate

A serial number is not a tractor's life story
In general, you cannot determine anything but the year from the serial number of an older tractor. You cannot find the exact date of construction, original dealer, or previous owners. Your best chance at finding your tractor's history is to talk to the person you purchased it from. Find out who they bought it from. If you're lucky you may be able to trace it back to the original buyer and the original dealer. If you are really lucky, that dealer would still be around and have records of the sale. There are couple of exceptions...

John Deere owners can contact the Two-Cylinder Club to have their serial number researched for a fee. I am not aware of this service being available for any other brand. If it is, email me and I will post the information.

Newer tractors from major brands will likely be tracked by the factory and its dealer network on computer. If you tractor was built around 1990 or later you may be able to have a dealer run the serial number. The exact information available would depend on the dealer and brand, and what they are willing to release to you. In general, they track sales, repairs, and stolen equipment.

IH owners: look for the U
Many International Harvester tractors will have a long number sequence with the letter 'U' in the middle. The numbers on the list correspond to the digits after the letter.

Missing serial numbers
With an older tractor it is not uncommon for a tractor's serial number to be missing. The serial number plate might be lost. The stamping might be worn to the point that it is unreadable. In most cases it is impossible to ever determine the original serial number. The serial number was typically marked in only one location on the tractor. The engine serial number is usually unrelated to the tractor serial number (certain Farmall models are an exception to this).

As Green Magazine's 'Mr Thinker' column has stated many times, 'If you want a tractor with a serial number plate, you should buy a tractor with a serial number plate'.

    Need Help Identifying Older Clark Forklift!

    I recently purchased an older Clark forklift for use around the shop, loading scrap cars onto the trailers and what not. The seller told me that he thought it was a mid 80s but I highly doubt that seeing as how it needs the generator replaced. It has a 6cyl Flat head F227 Propane
    Serial number is CT60204543 - When I research it, it comes up as a Tow tractor and not a lift, what also confuses me is that it doesn't look like the older 50s 60s or even 70s clarks I've found on google
    here are some pics let me know what you guys think! I really appreciate it and this looks like a great site.
    P.s. the machine runs great, just needs the generator rebuilt/replaced and a bit smokey, but nothing a bottle of lucas won't fix. thanks!

    I'll buy this being mid-80s. We had an ancient gasoline fueled blinding yellow 2200lb Clark boxcar forklift at the museum and it was MUCH cruder than this one. Shifter handles had cast knobs on the levers, this one looks to have screw on plastic knobs. This is the two tone pale green/black paint with the smaller logo painted on. The logo was cut out of the steel engine bay door panels on the old one. Looks like it has a factory roll cage. The old one had a cage, but it didn't come with one, as the retrofit banged into the mast if you tilted all the way back. The cage on this one is even bent to clear the propane bottle.
    We had two, the old Clark and a 1980 Allis Chalmers 4500lber. One had the lift controls on the dash and the other beside the seat. 99% sure the lift controls were on the dash on the Clark.

    I think the easy thing is to pull the generator and have a generator repair shop look at it.
    That engine number indicates Continental, which is a good thing.

    On the right hand side where you climb on down a few inches on the flat of the frame you should find a number stamped in that is your ID number, when I had to find mine had to remove about 6 layers of paint and there it was, with that # you can find out all you'll need to know.

    Thanks for the insight guys, yeah it doesnt look like that old of machine, but what throws me off is the generator, the clark dealer told me they stopped using those mid 60s and switched over to alternators, even he couldn't tell me much from the serial number he said he had to call it in to Clark HQ on monday. I'm stumped though, I can't find a place to rebuild the generator.
    Serial number is CT60204543

    I've got a 70's clark c500 forklift. It has an alternator not a generator, so what the dealer says about the generator is probably true.

    edster, hows your lift truck look compared to mine?
    It looks like clark didn't start putting cages on their lifts until 74 w/ the introduction of the 'c' series. Maybe mine is some sort of hybrid? I definately don't think its from the 60s as all the literature and images of the ones from the 60's (utilitruck, clarklift, truckloader, carloader) look nothing like mine.

    It looks similar. What is the weight capacity on your forklift? Mines 5500lbs. The dash is different, and you can't see the tilt cylinders on my truck. The cage also isn't bent for the propane bottle on mine. I've also got a 4 cylinder engine. Is yours a two speed? I had a friend with a forklift that looked like yours. I think it was an 8k lift with a two speed trans and a 6 cylinder.

    I'm betting somebody, for some reason swapped that generator for the original alternator. Maybe the alt went out and somebody knew a guy with a junk forklift.. snagged the 'alternator' (generator) and slapped in there. Your forklift just looks too modern to be that old.

    Does it have Clark cast into the counterweight or are any of the parts labeled with Clark in any way? Even a 1955 built 2500 lb Clark forklift I junked out had Clark cast into the counterweight.
    A quick trip thru 22 pages of forklifts on fleabay turned up nothing identical. That isn't to say someone hasn't done alittle modification on this one including repainting it. Yours could also be missing the metal plate that would go around the front of the dash area and cover the tilt cylinders.
    As stated before you need to check the machine for a MODEL number. Also much better pictures would be nice and of all sides and dash, etc.
    If I was guessing the age of your lift I would put it no newer than the 60's.

    I also bet it came with a alternator. For it does look newer than mid 70's. As stated eairlier the cage. Casting of Clark in the counter weight really does'nt mean much as a way of dating it mine is 1978 Clark and its cast in the weight. It also has a Cont engine in it and the alt is just your standard boy on top girl on bottom G.M. alternator.

    Clark truck

    While i cant vouch for the truck itself,the flat head CONTINENTAL,with generator, and ancient by-pass oil filter is not a product of the 1980s.If it runs good ,and does your work,
    dont worry about the age.I would guess not later than 1950s,in the 'engine room'.

    The Continental F227 flathead is a common industrial engine used well in to the 80s in aircraft tugs, forlklifts, welders and other applications.

    Bet it's an early to mid 70's C500, originally equipted with a generator. I have a 69 CFY20B that was the predecessor to this series, and that too originally had a generator, as confirmed by the line card supplied by clark. Is there a model and capacity tag/chart on the front above one of the tilt cylinders, probably painted over? I wouldn't bother with the generator, too easy to change over to a vastly superior and cheaper GM 10 SI alternator with built in regulator. That's what I did even though my generator was still working fine. Good luck. Jim Pic of mine

    That looks very similar to mine! I want to change it to an alternator, but on the back of my generator theres a keyway that the power steering pump bolts to, so If I convert it over to an alternator I won't be able to hook up my powersteering , any ideas how to retrofit the power steering pump?

    Sorry no, unless there is room to mount a stand alone PS pump. My PS works thru the main hyd system. Probably just easier to fix the generator then, probably just needs the armature turned and new brushes. Seem to remember needing to polarize the generator after install, but don't remember how. Hopefully someone will chime in or a google search should help. Good luck, Jim.

    Alright so I picked up my new forklift a couple days ago, seller had the generator rebuilt so that issue is done with. She runs and performs GREAT, but smokes pretty bad as she warms up, the 2 middle plugs get pretty wet with oil. is engine removal in these things a pita? or should I just deal w/ the smoke and run her till she dies. I'd like to pull the motor and do a rebuild, as I see the F227 rebuild kits are fairly inexpensive.

    Hello, I just bought what I believe to be a Clark Clipper. Serial number stamped on the right side is CL421124. Can anyone help me identify its true identity and year of manufacture?
