The serial # on the first one is 147088677. Posted 21:18 (#514899 - in reply to #514157) Subject: Re: Site to verify excavator year model w/serial number?īoth of these are listed as 1994 models although one of them is an LC. I looked at a few pieces of equipment trying to follow this code and couldn't make heads or tails of it though. It said that most construction equipment has a standardized 15? digit number and something like the 7th digit from the right tells you the year. Near the front of a Ritchie sale catalog this summer there was a guide for determining year by serial number. Ritchie Brothers has a site for specifications of equipment that might help.

You can check listings on, most units have a serial # listed, you should be able to figure out which listing you are looking at is b.s.

Around 03 model I think, be sure its not a grey market machine otherwise you may have trouble selling it when you are finished with it! Ours is a deere 200 CLC and has hitachi written on alot of the parts and has a big metal nameplate on the turntable. Deere buys them from Hitachi paints them yellow and puts there name on them. I cant help you there, maybe call a hitachi dealer. Posted 23:11 (#514074 - in reply to #514055) Subject: Re: Site to verify excavator year model w/serial number?
Is there a place on the web that lists the serial number break down by year. They're supposed to be the same make, model, etc but the cabs and body design are different.
I'm looking at a couple different Hitachi excavators that are both listed as the same year model. Posted 22:54 (#514055) Subject: Site to verify excavator year model w/serial number? Site to verify excavator year model w/serial number? Jump to page : 1 Now viewing page 1
