    15012-40850

    What does the second ser of numbers mean?

    I read that the first number means HP and year built…

    The numbers after the 15 are not the year, unless by coincidence. Your 15012 is a 1954. The model came out in 1953, and serial numbers above 19000 were 1954s. The 40850 is the serial number.

    Those 15s are nice motors, I just got my 3rd one and hope to make two good ones out of the three.

    Editing this post to say Frank beat me to it on this info by 2 minutes!… sorry to repeat the answer!
