hausdok Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Hi Mark, The problem with Sears furnaces is the darned things are manufactured by different manufacturer's at different times, although the Hobart brand was pretty consistent with Sears for a lot of years. I could go out on a limb and guess that it's April of 1971, because some companies first began using coded serial numbers in 1970. For instance Chrysler and Day-Night both used a number followed by a letter to designate the year (0=1970, 1=1971, 2=1972, etc.), so if either of them had been manufacturing for Sears at the time, that might work. But that's literally a shot in the dark without anything to back it up. Have you tried calling Sears or going to their website? ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!

Mark P Posted May 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Thanks Mike, Sears was little help. They said the first time someone researched parts for it was in 1992, so it might be around that. It looks like it maight be around 20 years old.
