The part you need for the serial number is under that washer actually...the 5281 is the model number, there should be an M and a single or double digit number after the M that gives the year.

Alright thanks I tried to remove the washer via wrench and it doesn’t budge. Thanks for the info though.

Needed to do this for a while, so here is what I have figured out so far. There has been many people along the way that has contributed and a few that has helped set me straight. hahaah. I don't know how far back this goes , but I know that Murray used a single letter to represent the year...

My guess is 65' or 66' .based on Cabe search for Murray Wildcat. one was listed a few weks ago.

Cool bike! I believe the 67 at the beginning of the 6 digit number denotes year on a Huffy. I got a 67 and 68. Lets see all of it!
