Answer
Hello Richard:

>>The Following is an Example of Interpreting Date Code 6206282:
>The First Two Digits (62) Denote the Year of Manufacture. In this Case it is 1962.
>>The next Two Digits (06) are the Month of the Year, which is June.
>>The Following Two Digits (28) are the Day of the Month. In this Case the 28th.
>>The Final One or Two Digits Designate the Plant and Assembly Line.
>>This Site Addy; http://www4.briggsandstratton.com/miscpdfs/RNT/Numerical%20Designation%20System.... , can Explain the Meaning of the Model, Type and Code Numbers.
