New guy with an old Max

[Brock Landers]

I recently got an old max to fix up. Is there any way to tell what year it is with the absence of serial numbers? there are no plates or numbers on this of any kind. It came with the JLO Rockwell L297.

Brock, you may be able to find a serial number on the engine and look up the year it was manufactured to get a rough idea. I split your thread up a little and moved your JLO question to its own thread in the engine forum here: http://www.6x6world.com/forums/engin...-question.html

There was nothing wrong with where it was at, combined with your other question, but hopefully it will get more exposure there and perhaps an answer from someone that doesn't frequent the Max forum.

Larry W told me a trick a while back. on most of the old ones,there is a stamp on the cover of the engine clutch with the year it was made. that should get you within a year or 2 of the age of your machine. you can see the tag in the red circle in the attached pic

Thanks for the suggestions. I will check them out.

Well there is no date on the tag unless it's coded as part of the assembly number. I'll have to see if I can find a way to reference serial numbers.

I had the same problem with mine. I called RI and gave them my number off the T-20 and they wear able to tell me the year and serial number of my max-II, "thats if the T-20 was the original"
