Chassis number location

Recommended Posts

Manufacturers regularly stamped their chassis' with production numbers, however the location of these stampings varied greatly. The objective of this tread is to produce a guide as to the position of these numbers.

So often a chassis only is located and while identifying it to manufacturer or model can be made by design features, further identifying it, or dating it by using a chassis number becomes another challenge. Hopefully this thread can assist.

Stamped on top of front cross member along curved section above the holes in the vertical section.

Above the crank is stamped the model, followed to the right by chassis number, then an works order number.
