Year of Build

[hp0617]

I've been trying to get an answer from Bobcat, but, Customer Service (at it's best) is not returning my call. I'm needing to find out the year of build for an 843 Bobcat. The serial number is 503730366. Do any of you know what year this serial number would be from? Thanks

The year of manufacture isn't that important. All parts and service are based on the serial number.
Bobcat is the only one that can tell you the manufacturing date.
From the Bobcat FAQ section of the website
“I have a serial number for a Bobcat product, but I’d like to know what year it was manufactured. For inquires about the year of manufacture of your Bobcat product, please contact the Marketing Service department at 701-678-6165.“
