  This is what I was told a while ago about finding the serial  number for the Mark III of nil repute and haven't it found yet.

  

 "When you get your MK3 cage, it will be stamped on the end  of the  root tube."

  

 So I sanded off the heavy black paint on butt end of root tube under engine  mount facing prop and if I am in the right place ,as you see it, has been  removed or was not stamped. 

  

 Wouldn't mind knowing more about this bird and want it legal as well as  airworthy (which is coming along).

  

 Do not archive.

John:



Very unusual engine mounting hardware.  Not what is called for for 

Kolb's.



First batch of MKIII cages didn't get a serial number stamped on the 

root tube.  My serial number is M3-011.  Number 11 to come off the 

line.



There is no serial number plate or stamped on my airframe.

John,  any number found on the engine mount or anywhere on the cage is

not a serial number.  Mine has a number stamped on it but that was only

for production purposes.  If yours was ever registered with the Feds 

they will

have a history of the plane's serial number and owners.

Don't know if is still available on the FAA website but you can browse 

through

all the Kolbs to avoid picking an already used number.  Then just make 

one up.

-If you are the manufacturer.  That is what the data plate is for.

Thanks for clarification. Wanted to find something, so Kolb could help me 

sort it out. History is veiled with only a meaningless group of numbers and 

letters on the boom put there after the last paint job.

You might want to put up a couple good clear pictures of your motor 

mount setup. John H is right, something is really non-standard, maybe we 

could take a look?

Forgiving is tough, being forgiven is wonderful, and God's grace really is amazing.

This topic came up a few years ago, also.



If I recall, Dennis Souder chimed in confirming what Bob Bean says above -

that the number stamped on the end of the big center tube on Kolbs that came

from the Pennsylvania Kolb factory is not necessarily a serial number, but a

factory routing number of some sort. 



My 1996 Mark-III is serial number 300 (before they started referring to it

as the "Classic"), a number that was given to me by the factory along with

my bill of sale.  I stamped "M3-300" on the big center tube myself, so it

matches what's on my data plate.
