Here are a few tips on the
FIN / VIN, the
vehicle identification number (also serial number or chassis number) and the
MIN, the
engine identification Number (also engine number) and where you can find it on the respective
Zetor models.
So where can you find this number, which is so important for registration, on the Zetor chassis or engine?

In addition, the following numbers indicate the real year of production, which may differ here and there from the date of "first registration", as some Zetors were also in stockpile for a while - especially for western export.
Gearbox casting date:
Since around 1990, every
manual/operating instructions for the Zetor has included the location(s) where these numbers can be found. So here are just 2 examples.
