I've got a number for you guys. My Super Mini SL has a UT number of 10546 and a serial number of TB 1720534, What can you tell me about that? Thanks In my list of UT numbers it says 10546 and 10546R - Super mini was last built in 1986. chainsawlady |

My serial number should read T81720534 and Dan (sweepleader) has told me that it was made in June of 1978. This is a Canadian built Terry saw as well. |

Hi all,just wanted to provide more information on how I decoded my Homelite-Terry saws as they don't follow the standard.Most of the info came from the chainsawcollectors.se forum.RE;Figuring out homelite serial numbers,prior to that to that I was trying to use the normal 8 digit decoding system but 3 of my Terry saws didn't fit.For example Super XL-130 T7900155.What made sense to me was what skywatcher wrote on page 2,"If a chainsaw has a 5 digit UT number and the SN starts with T and the first two digits after T are slightly different from the next 5 digits then this unit was made in Canada by Textron Corp.The two digits after the T is the year of manufacture".Example Leon's Super XL-130 UT# 50136 SN# T8001569 made in 1980 saw number 1569 made that year,XL1-Automatic Type# 10483 SN# T7700505 made in 1977, saw number 505 made that year.Before 1977 the ID tag was metal plate that read Terry Industries with the T in the middle of the SN as on my Super VI-200 sn 5021T461, they were produced during a period when even some 8 digit Homelites don't decode well.Example XL2 ...sn 44719883. Best to all.

Best to all. Then what do you think about my serial number that appears to show a B after the T? |

T= Terry built saw. B= 1980. 172=built on 172 day of 1980. 0534= unit built that day.  Thank you very much, my eraser is shorter, but I think the mystery is solved, That B really was the Bees Knees |
