I'm close, I'll check tomorrow! Thank you!

Get it out drive it and enjoy it more, I put 11,000 miles on mine the first year, although it only had 11,000 and my goal was to double it

I agree on carefully checking the belts and hoses. And if you have only changed the tires once, I would certainly consider different ones if they are 5-7 years old.
