How to find the Product Identification Number (PIN) on your John Deere equipment
Locate your John Deere Product Identification Number
Finding your model number and serial number is as easy as locating the identification tag on your machine. As seen in the example, the model number will be displayed below the MODEL heading (Example: Z235), and the serial number will be underlined on the top-right corner of the tag (Example: 130002). If you're looking for the engine number, that can be found directly on the engine itself.

A lawn tractor usually has the ID tag under the front right wheel.
Otherwise, the ID tag can be found by the back left wheel. The engine number will be found directly on the engine.
To find the ID tag on your zero turn mower, begin by looking at the rear of the machine. The tag will be located right above the engine on the frame, or underneath the engine. Also, the engine number will be listed directly on the engine.
The ID tag on Gator Utility Vehicles can be found either at the back right above the hitch or on the right side between the back tire and cargo box. The engine number can be found directly on the engine.

To find the ID tag on your push mower, look directly on the mower deck. If you're looking for the engine number, it will be located directly on the engine. Locations for the engine number may vary depending on engine type and manufacturer.

How do you tell what year a John Deere mower is? You can find the model and serial number on a tag under the seat or under the hood or someplace on the mower. Write these numbers down and call a J D dealer and the dealer will tell you when it was built, and if you can still get parts for it.
Each power unit has its own individual serial number. The power unit serial number plate is located near the fuel pump on the right hand side of the cylinder block. These six (6) digits designate the power unit serial number.
The first number denotes the size and family of the tractor and the next three numbers specify the approximated engine horsepower. The first letter following the number indicates the capability and features of the tractor. John Deere currently has four capability levels: D, E, M, and R.
Use the engine serial number as a guide to help confirm your tractor's age. Additionally, when ordering certain engine parts, the serial number may be required. Use the engine serial number page as a reference. Casting dates can be used to confirm (or dispute) the year and other information you have about your tractor.
The engine serial number is on a metal plate attached to the block, typically found on the left-hand side of the engine. The position of the engine plate varies across different engine series.
On John Deere tractors you can read the serial number on the right side of the chassis above the front axle. In addition to a identification tag, a sticker has also been applied by the dealer with all serial numbers. The location of this sticker differs per tractor (the dealer determines this himself).
There are 3 classes of John Deere tractors. E is the economy version, M is is the moderate version and R is the high end version. It amounts to how many bells and whistles are on the tractor.
What year was my equipment built? The 5th character of our 11 character product serial numbers will indicate the last number of the year that it was manufactured. Since 5th character in the example is a 4, the year of manufacture would be a year ending in 4.
It may come as a surprise to some, then, that while John Deere entered the agricultural industry in 1837 with the invention of the steel plow, it was not until 1918 that the company officially entered the tractor business.
