What Year Was My Kubota Tractor Made? - Bobby Ford Tractor and Equipment

If you want to find out the year in which your Kubota tractor was made, the best method is searching by serial number. Once you know how to find your Kubota serial number, you can use it to look up useful information about your tractor, such as its year of manufacture.

To find out the age of your tractor, follow these tips.

How to Find Your Kubota Serial Number

Near the front of the frame of your Kubota tractor, there should be a plate that shows the serial number. For many models of Kubota tractor in the B, L and M series, the serial number plate is located on the forward end of the transmission case, on either the left or the right side.

Note that sometimes the number does not appear on a plate but is instead stamped into the transmission case.

Understanding Your Kubota Serial Number

For Kubota engines manufactured before May 2012, the serial number appears after the base model name and is six digits in length. The first digit indicates the production year of the engine, while the second lets you know what month the Kubota tractor was made in. In contrast, engines manufactured from June 2012 onwards have a seven-digit serial number, and the first digit gives the series number of the engine. The next two digits give the production year and production month, while the last four digits of the serial number are always the sequence number of the tractor.

If You Cannot Find Your Kubota Serial Number

Use Engine Serial Number to Lookup Model Year

One option is to look up the engine serial number, which is always located on the right side of the engine, next to the fuel injection pump flange if your engine uses an in-line fuel pump. If your engine uses a rotary pump, the serial number will be stamped into the left side of the block.

Check the Rear Wheels

Another option, when faced with unreadable serial number plates, is to check the rear wheels of the Kubota tractor. There should be a date stamped into each wheel, which signifies the date of its manufacture. The age of the tractor is usually very similar to the age of the wheels.
