Husqvarna date of manufacture

[Ozhoo]

Anyone happen to have an extra oil cap to sell for one of these early model 61's? I've bought a couple already but they ended up being for the later models I'm guessing as they were slightly too big. Thanks for the help![/QUOTE

501564101 was used from 78 thru 81

Hello all, guy I work with gave me a 268 Husky, #6450761. Would this be a 1996 model? like others have found the serial numbers are weird.
Thanks guys.

Thanks guys.

Is the serial tag silver or black?

 

[SteveO-La]

Tag is black, like my husqvarna 45, but has no date listed.

That is the part number, so to speak, of your saw. The serial number is on the same tag and that has the build date info,

1984 is correct.

Thank you

The 162se was made before the tags had a date code.

Manufacture dates 1976- 1980. You could poke around these ipls to narrow it down.

Sorry about resurrecting this thread and I suspect the last answer applies to my saw as well but my tag is 162 SG KAS , #1008875 ???
Lady at the Husky site said 2010 which is strange since I got it in the late 80s

The 162 pre-dates the date of manufacture numbering system.

Barretts chainsaws lists the 162 ipls and says:
First production year: 1976
Last production year: 1980
Chainsawcollectorsse forum lists KAS saws as between 1977 and 1982
