  HR datecode in serial# is Aug 1979.  Seems late model.

The website has some info and history.....

I have looked and not found any information as to how to determine the year my E12 was made.  Model is 26 E12HA; serial is HR14 325.  I assume these numbers are code for something.  Anyone have the de-coding ring?  I have not found much history for ET's.  I would like to know when GE started making ET's what models, same with Wheelhorse and others.

Also does any one know if the paint on the tractors contains lead?  I hope not, I have some falling off these days.
