Depending on the manufacturer there is different information needed to figure out the year of your item.
You may need to know the following:
Make (Required)
Serial Number (Required)
Model
Category
First, navigate to the Serial To Year Lookup. You can find that tutorial here: How to Get To The DataRef Serial To Year Lookup?
Once you are on the page you can start by choosing from the Make dropdown the Manufacturer you want to do a lookup on. (Note: Our list of manufacturers will grow as we support more)
Once you select the desired manufacturer the fields for the required info will appear based on the manufacturer you selected.
Miller for example requires you put in the category for the item you selected and the serial number to get the accurate year.
Once you enter the required info you can click "Find Year" to get the year in the table below the fields
