How to find my model number

In order to get the correct parts for your machine a model and serial number are often required. While these locations differ between machines here are some common locations for machine model numbers. Keep in mind that machine model numbers are important for any part you are looking for that goes directly on the mower. Some of these might include PTO switches, blades, belts, attachments, and chutes. 

If you need a part for your engine it is important to get your model type and code directly from the engine itself.  

 1 – Under your seat

Lift up the mower’s seat and look for a white tag typically with a barcode that says model and serial number. This tag may be on the underneath of the mower seat or on the frame of your mower where your seat was.
Pro tip: Exmark mowers often have a model plate on the frame where you place your feet.

2 – By the back wheel

Some machines have their model and serial number located on the frame next to either rear wheel.

3 – Next to the motor

The piece of the frame that holds the mower up and attached to the machine can often have a model and serial number plate next to it. This one can be hard to see and you may need a flashlight because it is very close to the motor. 

Handheld equipment

Small machines like handmowers often have a model number underneath the back grass flap or on the top of the deck next to the engine. Stihl equipment places their model numbers in a small circle on the right side of the machine. 

Engine model numbers

Engine model numbers are typically located on the side of the engine fan shroud or stamped into the engine valve cover.
