Hey guys, I just picked up a 272xp parts saw. The serial # is 6170066. Is any one able to tell me the year it was built?
In 96,the first week of May.
1991. That is a very early 272.
Year 2001 no longer had 272's sold in North America.

Full wrap bars are a western North American item (California, Washington, Oregon and British Columbia). Eastern North America (Atlantic Coast) doesn't deal with steep slopes and users tend to opt for half wraps.
Given the BC sticker, I would say you are correct. Did they modify it? Every saw I have bought from BC has been modified. Some modifications have been very subtle. British Columbia saw tuners seem to know how to make a saw cut.
That's odd..I lived for about half a year once up in northern Vermont...I'd say that qualifies as steep slopes.
I was ordering some parts for my 272 xp and the IPL's I have seen start with 93 as the first year for that saw.So I am confused :msp_confused:how my saw S# 12605XX could be from 1991.Does anyone have any input on this?

If it is a 1993 saw, the serial number would start with 3. In 1981 or 2001, 272xp saws were not sold in North America. In 1981 they weren't even produced. All this leaves you with one choice- 1991. Is your tag damaged?
