Default what year is my g1-no serial number

so as the title says...is there anyway to tell what year my G1? The serial number on the rear crossmember is gone (as in completely not there so dont give advice on how to look for it). any other ways to get the serial number? My main concern is i need to order a engine top end rebuild kit and the 1982 model is different. any way to make sure its NOT a '82?

Yep pics of the engine compartment.

I thought my S/N was gone too, it is suppose to be on the rear cross member drivers side. Found mine on the passengers side.

So your saying that the frame of your cart is rusted out and there is on ser #, because it is stamped in the frame on my G1, so it cant go any where

Another method would be the engine serial number. When these carts were built, the S/N of the frame and engine matched. This method is not foolproof. Over the years, many carts have had their engines replaced with used engines from other carts from different years. The 1982 gas G1 would have a S/N prefix of J17. Earlier models(1979-81) J10. 1983 models J24, and 1984-89 models J31. See if your engine serial number has any of these prefixes in it. That should give you a clue to what you have.

The serial number should be where rib33024's image shows it OR it might be on the passenger's side of that same frame member, OR if it is a really early one it will be stamped on the frame member where the upper ends of the rear shocks mount. Flip the body up and clean the area between the rear shock mounts. It should (might) be right on the top of that crossmember.
