Fiat- Allis 11B

Would like to know if year of manufacture can be determined from serial number for this machine.

Thanks for that merv, about what I thought, I brought mine  from a man in Stratford taranaki who said it was a 1980 but it didn’t seem to add up as my father and I looked at that machine around 1985.

It was owned at that time by a tom scrobie used for logging in the waitanga’s, we thought it was too expensive so brought an 11b  in Rotorua.

The ironic thing is I brought the same machine nearly 40years later and paid about the same amount as it was worth then.

So almost have come full circle trying to relive the past with the old FA11B playing around on a mates bush block at Awakino.

Cheers Allan

yep that would be pete raven i assume, used to stay in their different baches when his father evan was around and we logged the upper mohakatino, he would know of us
