Serial Number Arctic Cat Snowmobile Forum
In 1981, standards established by the International Organization for Standardization took effect on all new street-legal vehicles in the world. These standards mandated that each vehicle would be issued a VIN, or vehicle identification number, which had to be engraved on a plate and installed somewhere on the vehicle. On snowmobiles, this number is always located in the same place.
Jun 12, 2012 We are working on an Artic Cat ATV 400. The vin number on the frame under the rear fender is 4UF05ATV05T205220. I kinda need to know what year it is and where to find the part number for the half shafts as all four are bad. We stock genuine Arctic Cat rear track idler wheels for all 1972-1999 model Kitty Cat snowmobiles. Every Kitty Cat uses one of these wheels and they are installed on the rear-most track axle between the rear track idler sprocket above. The Arctic Cat part number for this bogie wheel is 0300-180. I am trying to get more information about my brothers ATV. All I have is the VIN Number. It is 4UF04ATV24T255084. I believe this tells me it is a 2004 but I need more information in order to purchase parts.
Step 1
Approach the right side of the snowmobile and crouch down.
Step 2
Find the VIN plate. It is mounted on the snowmobile body approximately three inches below the bottom edge of the seat. It is closer to the back of the seat than the front.
Step 3
Write down the entire alphanumeric 17-character code.
Contact the snowmobile manufacturer if you want to find additional information that can be retrieved using the VIN. Although there are several services that sell detailed vehicle history reports based on VINs, these services apply to passenger vehicles only and do not include snowmobiles, ATVs, watercraft and other vehicle types that have VINs.
Tip
- Snowmobiles manufactured before 1981 do not have VINs. If you find that the VIN plate is missing or unreadable, check the legal title of ownership for the snowmobile. The VIN is printed on all applicable titles.
