Serial Number Location:
For the Case CX130C Excavator (produced from approximately 2012–2017), the serial number plate is typically mounted on the right front side of the upper frame, below the cab door or near the boom base. Always verify the machine’s serial number before ordering parts, especially to distinguish between C-Series and D-Series models.
