Stihl 028 Serial Number Year Lookup?

[StephRae]

Hi I have a Stihl 028 Woodboss and was hoping someone could help me identify the year.

Here is the serial number:

113 307 119



Thanks!!!

Old as shi t..

Likely has points...

If it's original then being a Woodboss dates it to either 79 or 80.

Put up a pic or two.

It is too old of a model to be in their serial number database.

 

[Wood Doctor]

That's as old as I have ever seen for an 028 WB. Mine has serial number 210 876 911. It starts and runs, but I must admit that I seldom use it.

Heres some pics...

 

[HarleyT]

No points, torx head screws, a later model...

Your nameplate says Wood Boss and mine says WB:

I have to wonder if yours is younger than mine, regardless of the serial number.
