Your Caterpillar Serial Number (SN) is an 8 character alphanumeric code, typically starting with 3 letters and ending with 5 numbers. Sometimes ther Serial Number may also be referred to as the "Sequence Number." In early 2000 Caterpillar changed to a 17 character Product Identification Number (PIN) that conforms to the construction equipment industry standard. The PIN contains the serial number for the machine.


In the photo above, the PIN is "CAT00D5GPWGB01070", and the Serial Number is "WGB01070" - the last 8 characters of the PIN. If you are searching for a service manual for your machine, WGB01070 should be used in the ServiceManualPro.com searchbox. In the photo above, the serial number MHK03801 is for the engine only, and would not return the correct results for the complete service manual for this D5G bulldozer.


In the photo above, the SEQUENCE NUMBER is "ALY02066", and the would be used in the ServiceManualPro.com searchbox to find the correct service information for this machine. In the photo above, the serial number BMA28823 is for the engine only, and would not return the correct results for the complete service manual for this D5G bulldozer.
