Identifying Your Yanmar Engine: Finding the Model and Serial Number

Hannah Published on May 20, 2020 View Comments

When purchasing specific parts for a Yanmar Engine, you need to identify the serial number and model number, this will be on a plate in a specific location on the engine. The reason for providing your dealer with these details is because some parts may have slightly different features, dependent on the information and year of the engine. Therefore, you will need to make sure that you have purchased the correct parts in order for your engine to run smoothly.

If you have this specific information when you call, your parts dealer will be able to locate the exact parts diagram for your particular model and variant, allowing them to identify and source the correct parts for your machine.
