Aroch314 25 Posted April 18 This is a first for me, I picked up a rancher 350 today, which the knowledge on the ranchers they started in 2000-2004 (I believe was the last year) and they replaced the fourtrax 300. Well according to the vin it’s claiming to be a 1996! Anyone had this occur? Everything looks too smooth and right for it to be vin plate swapped. Anyone know of manufacture faults?

Based on its color code it is a 2001 since it says trx350fm1 but I’m still intrigued why the vin isn’t lining up like it should? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AKATV 822 Posted April 18 The 10th digit of the VIN is a 1, meaning 2001 Why were we originally thinking it was 1996? -AKATV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
