51096 could be a date 5-10-96. 

I haven't seen a machine shop go into that much detail for parts identification.

The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
