Hello to all from Buford, GA. I recently picked up a D160 on a trade to put to work. It looks a very helpful group of guys on the site for sure.

 

Any idea of the year my Wheel Hore was manufactured based on the SN? I'm guessing it's a 1976. The tage is hard to read but it looks like 160S01  03503 on the top line followed by 6304.

I think 1976 is correct.

The full model number is 61-16OS01

16 = engine hp

O = Onan engine

S = Sundstrand hydro

01 = numbers zero one

 

Your serial number 03503 and Julian build date 6304 which is wrong. Should be 5304 which is Friday October 31, 1975 (304th day of 1975)

Another D-160 no.  03548 and Julian build date 6308 which is wrong. Should be 5308 which is Tuesday November 4, 1975 (308th day of 1975)

 

Seems someone had not grasped the idea of a Julian build date and this happened quite often at the end of a calender year. The 1976 models would have been released in October of 1975 just like autos today.
