Serial number guide?

[Shadow287B]

Hello Guys. So I am going to pick up this thread here, I purchased a Takeuchi T130, I thought. It has been repainted and had new stickers put on it. Once i found the vin plate, It said T26 series, but the plate has been painted as well and I can't make out the serial number. Does anyone know the years that the TL26 was made? I found a start year of 1986, but not an end year.
Thanks

Someone else will need to answer this. I have no access to Takeuchi information.
