International #80 snowblower

I just purchased a #80 snow blower, serial # 3090904C003980*. Could anyone tell me what year this was made?
Thanks

Don't know what year yours is but they were built early to mid 80's. Dealership I worked at sold several of them. Even sold them to airports.

Parts Catalog while not perfect shows 1971-1988 which has to be fairly close. A guy in my township had one from the early 1970's for many years.

If you're looking for exact year, then no. Nobody kept track of the serial numbers for implements.

Thinking about it more since last night. Color differences might help in figuring out if early or late production. White was a prominent secondary color used on things such as PTO shafts and spouts. Red on spouts and use of black on things such as PTO shafts were happening by 1980-81. The IH logo changed around the mid-1970's. If close to original maybe you can play detective as to within a few years and of course after 1985 it would have a Case IH logo on it.

All good thoughts. I'll have to check into this. Thanks

I had a really early model 70, think early 1970's.

It had a tiny "McCormick" sticker on it. I also knew it was early since it used smaller bearings the early ones did.

I bought mine in 1974. Don't have any idea on the serial number. Black PTO, hydraulic spout and capable of blowing a drive way in no time!
