I've heard the subject of hard to read aluminum ID plates on tractors or loaders. If you have a digital camera with a "macro" setting on it, you can take some pictures of the id plate from different angles.
Then you need a photo editing program. Open the best looking picture and play around with your light and dark settings and your contrast settings. You can usually get the number to show up enough to read it.
Below is a picture of the ID plate on my MF202 loader. In my editing program, I adjust the light and contrast and enlarged the picture larger than you see it below. Outside on my loader I looked at it with my glasses on and even a hand held magnifying glass but was unable to read the model number.
But on the picture below I was able to make it out. It's model 102M. I hope this hint may help some of you.
