Husqvarna date of manufacture

[SawTroll]

Yes, variations do turn up now and then, but that one doesn't really mess up the system in any way. :msp_smile:

Sorry Saltas - I never looked into that, so I don't know (not even sure I fully understand the question).

Of course the name of the city could have changed over time, while the company/brand name has been kept unchanged. The company is more than 300 years old (about 322).

Sorry my question was that a husky X spurt would be able to confirm that a real husky has two different spellings on the serial number plate

 

[SawTroll]

I guess that can be copied, as well as the other text and numbers.......:msp_wink:

Nothing like resurrecting an old thread.

Reason for the difference in spelling is quite simple.

"Husqvarna AB" is the actual company name (at the time).

"Huskvarna, SWEDEN" or "Huskvarna" is the place of "Manufacturing" or the City name.

Thank you for deciphering the Manufacturing Dates.

Yes, as answered in a previous post in this thread....there ain't much new on this site.

The year/ser no system has also changed a bit in that time!
On my 357 XPG the ser no is: 2009 5100242
On my ´08 346 XP it starts with 08, and on my ´09 353, it starts with 09!
So no golden rules!

Saltas:
Yes, the city is spelled Huskvarna, and the brand is Husqvarna!
Like troll says, could have changed over time.

1989 week 42.

All I can say about that one is that it likely was made before 1982. I don't know how to date the ones that old.

Some time between 1977 and 1981 is the closest I can get....

While reading this thread I saw the question posted about the spelling of the town - if it had been changed. It was. Here is a link to the Husqvarna page.

Welcome to the site! No Apology needed we all have to learn some how.

20th week (2nd &3rd numbers) of 1991 (first number with that black tag).
1455th saw produced that week (last 4 numbers).

 

[Gordy24]

Thanks RedFirDown. You know your stuff.

Morning all Newbie here.

Friend of mine gave me two old saws to fix. One a Jonsered, which he had back, the other is a Husqvarna 61 grey top (think that's the right term).
He gave me the 61 in payment for sorting out the Jonsered......bargain I thought!

Serial number is 6330487 on a silver plate - the plate also has Elelectrlux Motors Sweden on it.

I used it for the first time the other day as my little Stihl 211 was playing up. I was amazed at how good it is and will be using it as my first choice from now on so was hoping you guys could date it for me?

PS. Will upload some pics when I work out how too
