How to Figure Out the Year of a CAT dozer?

[IamBruce_Driver]

Hey everyone, I’m trying to get better at CAT bulldozer knowledge, and I ran into a question I could use some help with. How do you figure out what year a CAT bulldozer was made? I know these machines have serial numbers and model plates, but I’m not sure how to read them or where to look exactly.

Look it up on CAT's official serial number guide online.
