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.

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
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"
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..??
Your Craftsman GT3000 was manufactured in 2001.
You would have to go to a Sears and have the year of manufacture
First six digits of ser #: July 7, 1998
