Is there a way?

I'm sure there must be some way to find out the date of manufacture of a Stihl saw, it there a site that one can check to find the year from Mod# & Ser#'s?

Just curious as to how old my saw is!

Thanks, Shawn

Thanks Chuck!

All I could find was "YEAR INTRODUCED: 1993"

So I know it is not older than 14 years old!

email Stihl and they can tell you. I estimated my 066 on info from an earlier post on the same subject, so I never have done it officially.

BTW, what model is it?

It's a little 021, runs great, not too heavy like my old 056, I know they make bigger & heavier saws, but I can't see the need for me to haul one around, when I was looking for a used saw it was from a 021 - 028 range.

This is what I have for info on it, I had Stihl send me a owners manual for it.

Some of the dealer son the list can/will look up serial numbers. They can even tell you where it was sold, look up warranty issues on the saw, etc....

Email Stihl USA and they will tell you in about two or three days; I've done it several times. Be patient, they are busy. They need the model and serial number both.
