Hey all. I hope y'all can help me figure out what year an MTD garden tractor was built. I have the model number, but when I plug it in to MTD's site, it gives me a choice of years of manufacture. I have no idea other than it was built after 1998. I have used part numbers from 2000 and they fit with no problem, but I would like to narrow it down to the actual year that it was made. I do have the serial number too. Any help would be appreciated.
