John Deere does not have an open database to lookup serial numbers for equipment. Your local John Deere dealer would be happy to help you find the year of your gator. Use the dealer locator on John Deere's website to help you find a dealer.
Write down the serial number off the tag on the left (or maybe right?)side of the gator and take that number to where you bought it or to your John Deere dealer. They should be able to easily tell you what year it eas made.
Look on the same plate the the PIN (or serial number) is found and under the PIN is a DOM number (date of manufacture) for example 032006 March 2006
