Johnson 25hp year of manufacture?

[tim_david]

I have a 25 hp Johnson. I've looked all over the motor for a plate with numbers on it but no luck. I have found A8420196 stamped on the engine cranckcase. What's this number and can anyone derive the manufacture date from this?

Look for a silver plug(Freeze plug looking) on the powerhead. It should have the model number on there. Or on the transom bracket!

No luck on either count.
