What year was my kubota RTV 500 manufactured: serial 28399…vin. A5KA1CGAPBGO28399
If the VIN # is 16 characters, the year is in the 9th position. If it's 17 characters, it's in the 10th position.
Sorry for the bad intel on the year.The RTV 500 started production in 2008. https://www.atv.com/specs/kubota/utility-utv/2008/rtv500/orange/detail.html
Based on your VIN 10th character being "B", you have a 2011.

VIN's are for vehicles. Not sure if your ZTR qualifies. I know my ZTR doesn't have one.Is this just for RTV’s. If so does such a thing exist for mowers. I bought a ZD326 used and always wandered when it was built.
Yes that should have occurred to me. A serial number lookup is what I need. I will get the engine serial number and try that. ThanksVIN's are for vehicles. Not sure if your ZTR qualifies. I know my ZTR doesn't have one.
I'd think your chassis would have a serial # that could be decoded to figure out the year.
The engine should have a serial #. Get that serial # then go to this site to get the year/month of manufacture.
