Determing age of my MF 451 from the serial number

[forrestfwl]

I've lost all my paperwork on this tractor and need to order parts and reestablish ownership.
The serial number is:
451-9362BM17055
How do I trace the age and other details through this number?

It's a 2003 model. Sold 10-8-2003, Factory with 8x8 shuttle trans, 16.9x28 rear, 12.5/80-18 front R-4 tires on pressed steel wheels with horizontal exhaust. You can look on Agcopartsbooks.com and search by serial number to find age as well as build for the newer machines. As for who owned it I can't help you there but it shouldn't matter for ordering parts.

Perfect. Thanks a lot.
