With the help of this forum I was able to locate my serial number. You can call the Bobcat Marketing Service at 701-678-6165 and using the serial number they can tell you the year and what series unit you have. Takes about 30 seconds.

If 743 has big bolt in middle of axle (removable hub) should be a B series...

There is usually a plate somewhere on the unit with the info. On the older models I believe it is on the left hand side when looking from the rear. My plate was missing and I found my serial # stamped on the front below and to the right of the chain case fill plug. I had to lift the bucket out of the way to find it. The numbers are very small. In reading previous forums the number can be located in various places.
