Need help finding your model information tag?
How to Find Your Model Information Tags
When buying repair parts, it is often best to identify the exact parts you need by using the Illustrated Parts Lookups (IPLs) for your specific piece of equipment (not all blades, belts, bolts are the same). The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) provides Authorized Servicing Dealers like us with these diagrams and parts lists to help ensure repairs are done safely and correctly, with Genuine OEM parts. Your Model Tag contains the exact model number for your specific piece of equipment, and potentially other very valuable information, like a serial number, that may be needed to locate the correct IPLs on the PartsTree website. Handheld Equipment (like chainsaws) usually has one Model Tag. Wheeled Equipment (like mowers) usually has two Model Tags, one on the equipment and one on the engine. The Model Tag is a sticker-like label or metallic plate attached to your equipment in a place away from moving parts or heavy debris.
