Working on an 826 GD, and I found this #2 on the underside of the main hood, written with a black marker.  A friend of mine has, if I remember correctly #17, or #19 on the underside of his 826 GD hood, what do these numbers indicate? Did all the Gold Demos have a number on the underside of the hood?  This particular 826 is serial number 14041, so it’s nearing the end of the 70 model year run of production.  @Bermuda_Ken

That's an interesting question!

Never noticed that on our 1456. It is interesting for sure.

It seems as though it may only be an 826 thing, so that really makes it interesting.

We may never get an answer as to what these numbers represent, but it would be another piece of history unlocked if we can find out!

So I have had 8-10 demonstrators and all of them had numbers written on them in the exact same spot.  Mr. Updike told me he believed it was line build numbers as they were being built at the plant.

Line build numbers, so would that indicate how many were built per day, or per week possibly?

Do you still have them and did you have one of each model.
