How to use the VIN, serial number, and Hull ID lookup

Road VINs for trucks, cars, trailers, and RVs

Choose Road VIN. Copy the 17-character VIN from the vehicle’s identification label, title, or registration. Enter the trailer’s own VIN when checking a trailer. The result shows the details NHTSA has for that VIN and links to its recall search. NHTSA VIN Decoder

Equipment PINs and serial numbers

Choose Equipment PIN or serial number. Copy the number from the machine identification plate. Select Detect manufacturer from PIN for a supported manufacturer code, or choose the exact make and model for a documented year match or model-specific guidance. If a year is unconfirmed, compare the plate with the manufacturer’s records.

Boat Hull Identification Numbers

Choose Boat Hull ID (HIN). Look for the 12-character number on the starboard (right) side of the transom or on the boat’s registration. The modern U.S. format can show the model year, a manufacture or certification date code, and the manufacturer code. Use the Coast Guard directory to check a code. Older hull number formats may need to be checked against the registration. The boat’s exact model, engine, and ownership come from its records. U.S. Coast Guard manufacturer directory

Sawmill manuals and parts

Choose equipment mode, then select Wood-Mizer LT70, Baker, or Brewco / Brewer. The page shows the manufacturer resource immediately. Use the number on the mill’s own identification plate if the manufacturer asks for it.
