I forget how the carriers are dated :frown:
Help with D 14 J
Thanks Mike

J should be a number Mike. April 14, then the year

I looked again, defiantly a "J" that would be the 9th letter minus the use of letter "I"
And it is from a 69.
Mike

[x77-69z28]

Hmm. I would think it would be D149. Could part of the 9 be missing?
Buddy

[m22mike]

It is a "J" 1969

That's definitely a J. goggles

Sorry, thought you were talking about the housing! Duh

I should have stated that I was looking for the carrier assembly stamp and not the casting number, sorry about that, my brain had tunnel vision :naughty:

Thanks Mike

So what would A 12 A be? Jan 12 of '70?

[m22mike]

I think it is 71, K is 0. Year letters go A thru K, no letter I.
