Year my Mahindra was made?

No, I just did the search back in the archives and found what I was looking for - The letter in the serial number designates what year it was made, at least on the 4110's. My serial number is 411 U03 0043. The U designates 2001 and if I remember correctly the 03 designates March. The 0043 is the actual production number. A "V" would be 2002, "W" would be 2003 and so on. I don't know what they did after "Z" or whether the other Mahindra models follow this method. This is similar to automotive VIN numbering so I would guess they might start back at "A" or perhaps go to a number designation for that particular digit in the serial number.

Stopping by in 2024 here to confirm what you said. My tractor has a "K" for the year designator and was made in 2016. If you start at W=2003 and wrap back to "A" after "Z", then sure enough, "K" = 2016. So obviously Mahindra is still using this convention and it is the same across models.

That works on TYM-built Mahindra tractors. Mitsu built use a different method, then the Mahindra built ones also have their system.

You said that back in 2012.
Thanks for this.
I have a 3510 Bought it used in about 2012. The only indications I had on age was from the wheels. which are stamped with a month and year.
The SN on mine is 3510 v12 xxxx, so December 2002.
