Any help on i.d of this ? I Swapped a load of wood for it . All he could tell me was its a 2005 and either a ms270 or 280 . But he wasn't sure as wasn't his from New. Thanks in advance

Need ser# or what does that silver sticker say on handle below trigger?

What’s the difference between the 2? A couple cc of displacement?

I worked on a 270 once & while it was fine, I do recall the parts being very specific to those 2 or 3 models. Nothing that interchanges from different families. That’s how I remember it anyway.
