"How can I determine the age of my engine? (For engines manufactured after 1965)
The engine’s code number indicates the exact date it was manufactured. This system provides an easy way to determine the age of your small engine.

The following is an example of interpreting date Code 99011556:

The first two digits (99) denote the year of manufacture. In this case it is 1999.
The next two digits (01) are the month of the year, which is January.
The following two digits (15) are the day of the month. In this case the 15th.
The final two digits designate the plant and assembly line.
Therefore, this engine’s manufacture date was January 15, 1999."

This should be made into a sticky.
