Murray serial number project.

Awesome thanks very much i appreciate it is there any reason badge would say alpine on it im guessing thats just what sears called this model

Probably badge was from another bike. Sears' bikes (and sporting goods line) were branded "JC Higgins" from 1947-63.

I'm trying to see how old this Murray Baja is but I can't track how the dating code works

A full pic would help, though it seems like a '70s-;80s bike. Most of those have a black sticker above the crank with the date on it.

Hey guys, got this one back in July. Cleaned it and got it in riding condition. I've dated it to be a 68, but not sure. The s/n is M0821x28 308728. It has Murray II on the chain gard and Fleetwing on the tank. Just wanted to make sure I've dated it correctly. Sorry but the uploading of the photos is not working.

I have this Federal's branded Murray. The serial is MO5361X92359132
I am guessing this means that it is a 1965. Maybe X9 or X92 was the Federal's code?

Edit: I misinterpreted the serial number. I believe my 2nd character is a 0 and an O. This is actually a 1970 and not a 1965
