Husqvarna 61 date of manufacture

So would serial no 1982 001023 mean 1982, week 1, no 23 for the week?

Yes you are correct in 1980. The 61 came out in late 1978ish with white top. Silver side tag gives it a way as early one too. early 61's have single air filter screw, later switched to two. should also have two piece ignition system. Chain brake was optional in first few years. Same chassis as the 266 and Yugoslavian built 66.

The ignition parts are still available aftermarket. I had a 66 but sold it. I have always wanted to find a 266. They are the hottest of the early two piece ignition saws. I grew up running 61's they where my dad's favorite when he logged. He had many of them through the years.

Hey kysawman, I have a 61 aswell and was wondering if you'd beable to tell me the year of mine, I have attached a picture of the tag.
