Identify an Outdoor Tool

The full model, type code, serial number, engine code, battery platform and attachment interface are the keys to parts and value.

Photograph the whole tool

Capture both sides, controls, cutting assembly, guard, battery or fuel system, handles, attachments and visible damage.

Find every plate and code

Look beneath battery slots, near handles, under seats, on mower decks, engine shrouds, frames and housings. Record punctuation and suffixes exactly.

Separate tool and engine identities

Mowers, splitters, pressure washers and other equipment may have one model for the complete machine and separate engine model, type and code data.

Compare diagrams and manuals

Use official manuals and exploded parts diagrams to verify the generation, attachment and replacement parts.

Preserve dealer evidence

Dealer decals, service tags and receipts can help with local history, service and exact configuration.
