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...

I actually did look at that information and it seems to me that by the serial number it is a 65 Murray but was hoping to get other information about the model number. I know I saw someone post part of a catalog where it shows the model numbers, but can’t seem to find it anywhere anymore.

Thank you for your help

You're probably thinking about the Elgin/JC Higging/ Sears, Hawthorne book that is a collection of catalog pages. In that book, you can compare the serial number to the model number in the catalog.
