Date these Poulans
« on: August 09, 2012, 01:56:31 pm »
I think I have 3 out of the 4 figured out, but the 475 seems to have thrown me a curve in my thinking of dates.

Can anyone breakdown the tags and tell me years built please.

It could be that the numbers do not fit a pattern for dating and that there is a master list somewhere that you match the serial number to and get the date.  I know I cannot make any sense from them.

Reading like a husky tag my guesses would be.

425 = 1995

415 = 1992

475 = 1990  Thats what is messing with me. Was the 475 made as early as 1990?

505 = 1996

I thought that I read somewhere that the 475 came out around 1993, or 1994.

I see no reason that there shouldn't be a 475 made in 1990, as both the P7700 and the 2077 surely existed by then.

425 = 1995 week 12

415 = 1992 week 7

475 = 1990 week 24

505 = 1996 week 27

Acres site aren't always right regarding intro years, so it doesn't really bother me that it doesn't fit with the info there.  ;)

Btw, you need a 445 to complete that collection, and of course the Partner and Jonsered versions..... ;D

I'm not a collector.

All my saws have a price or await the right trades.   ;D
