The Product Identification Number (PIN) is used to
identify a powered machine that is designed for an
operator to ride.
Caterpillar products, such as earthmoving equipment
not designed for an operator to ride (engines,
transmissions, etc.), are identified by serial numbers.
Also, most major Caterpillar attachments are identified
by serial numbers.
For quick reference, record the identification numbers
in the spaces provided below the illustration
photographs.
