Haven't seen any documentation on reading the Poulan saws. If you have any files could you send me a copy. If it's too large, just send it on arboristsite. It's amazing the info you run across and post in this site.

Trying to get him to take pics of his info from when he worked for poulan. Time will tell.

But he helped me understand the 2000 type serial number so far.

Some of the rear handles dont need any help. Date right there on them on decal.

Dads bought new Poulan 3300. He always told me bought it 1994.

Poulan serial number broke down.

Seems poulan used up to 3 different ways so far

Well, some quality guy decided to change the format along the way. It started when they could make more than 9,999 products in one day.

So the ending format was changed to A001-Z999. That way there would be no possibility of two units with the same serial number.

At the same time, they added a 1,2 or 3 for the first digit to identify the plant. (Nashville, Howard, or Dequeen)


H 1990 144th day
Nashville

Saving so I can keep learning. They throw curve balls over the years when they change.

1 = Nashville, Arkansas plant.
J = year, which is 92.
326 is the Julian date  November 22.
The remainder is a sequential serial number.
