I was cruising through youtube trying to decompress the accumulated stress of the past few days and noticed a blue Super XL Auto not dissimilar from the one I just got. Of course the video turned out to be Leon's... well done as always. But something caught my attention. Leon said the saw was a 1971 and he was surprised they were still making the blue XL's then. My blue XL is, as far as I'm told here, a 1972. But when Leon zoomed in on the data tag with the serial number it is a very different tag than mine and in a completely different location. Leon's a metal plate riveted in place and mine more of a sticker. I'm still figuring out that there were a least a few different factories at this point in time./? But thought the style and placement of the data tag itself could be a factor in helping to figure out when/where these were made. Possibly worth starting to catalog them?

A screen shot from Leon's youtube video www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkTk6b0IfQM showing the tag just below the on/off switch. And my tag up on the right side over the muffler.

I was looking to date a saw that is heading towards Ebay when I found this post.

Look at the serial number on mine. Same line! Same year! Same date! Probably built within an hour or two of each other!!

Nice!

That's pretty cool, 44 saws apart.

I would like to figure out how far apart these two saws are right now. Mine is located in Altoona Pa.
