Your Craftsman GT3000 was manufactured in 2001.
mine is a 2003. same model and close serial
2004
1998
Most Craftsman have the tag under the seat near the rear of the top plate.
Unfortunately the model number you gave it not listed any where. It looks like a serial number. The Craftsman tractor model numbers are like this example :- "CRCRA17542"
march 5, 1975
Railroad Model Craftsman was created in 1933.
The thickness of a letter paper.
First six digits of ser #: July 7, 1998
The first 6 digits of a Craftsman lawn tractor serial number will tell you the month, day and year it was built. So, if your serial number is 1599SO6258, your tractor was built on January 5, 1999.
You can tell the year on a Craftsman by the first six digits of the serial number. They are in groups of two. First two digits are the month, second two digits are the day and the third two digits are the year. Apparently this dose not work for all Craftsman Mowers. My model #917.255520 Has a serial number of 1631S37112 meaning it was made on the 16th month and 31st day of the year 20S3... I think..??
