For most recent year models of Craftsman lawn and Garden items the first six digits of the serial number is the month, day and year So, one that starts with 021897 would be made on Feb 18, 1997
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.
Sears sells them but they are made by various manufacturers under the craftsman name, depending on the year and model.
There are factors that will effect this answer. What model the tractor is, what engine it has, what transmission, what condition, where it is being sold, what time of year it is being sold etc... Right now, a typical Craftsman L-1000 in that year range and in good shape will sell for around 300-350 here in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The earliest year is 1954.
Your Craftsman GT3000 was manufactured in 2001.
