Where to Find the Bobcat Mower Serial Number
The serial number on a Bobcat mower is usually found on a metal plate (data tag) riveted to the frame. Its exact location varies by model:
- Zero-turn mowers: Look on the frame near the engine, just under or beside the seat.
- Stand-on mowers: Check on the side of the frame near the operator platform.
- Walk-behind mowers: Found on the deck near the rear wheels or under the control panel.
- Out-front mowers: On the rear frame or side support arms.
It’s typically a 9-17-digit alphanumeric code, starting with the model designation followed by a production series and sequence number.

FAQs
How do I tell what year my Bobcat is by serial number?
To determine the year of your Bobcat mower using the serial number, follow these steps:
- Locate the full serial number – it will usually be a 9–17 character alphanumeric code.
- Compare the serial number to a Bobcat mower serial number chart (like the one in the blog above).
- Check for a pattern or production series – some serial numbers may include a code representing the year (e.g., last two digits of a batch code).
- If your mower is older or not listed, call Bobcat customer support or check their online parts catalog using the serial number.
Example: Serial number 998003732 falls into the 2022 batch for model ZT3000.

Where is the serial number on a Bobcat lawnmower?
The serial number plate (data tag) is a small metal or plastic plate riveted to the mower frame. Location depends on the mower type:
- Zero-turn (ZT models): Under the seat or on the frame near the engine bay.
- Stand-on (ZS models): On the left or right frame rail near the foot platform.
- Walk-behind (WB models): On the side of the deck, near the rear wheels or control handles.
- Older models (ProCat, FastCat): On the rear frame or behind the seat panel.
Look for a plate labeled with “Model” and “Serial Number.”
Where is the model number on a Bobcat?
The model number is printed on the same tag or sticker as the serial number. It is typically located just above or beside the serial number on the product identification plate. It may be abbreviated, such as:
- ZT2000 (Zero Turn 2000 series)
- WB700 (Walk Behind 700)
- ZS4000 (Stand-on 4000 series)
Tip: If you can’t find it, check the owner’s manual or search your serial number on Bobcat’s parts site, it will show the model automatically.

How to find the year of equipment with serial number?
The process for any Bobcat (or other brand) equipment is generally:
- Find the serial number on the equipment frame or identification plate.
- Use a serial number lookup chart (from the manufacturer or a dealer).
- If not available:
- Contact the manufacturer’s support team
- Use online parts lookup tools where you enter the serial number to reveal year and model.
- For some equipment, the 4th to 7th digits of the serial number can hint at the production year.
