My XL-12 with it's pretty new Oregon bar and chain would make yours look new. XL supposedly meant eXtra Light, and the 12 was the weight of the saw head. Your "heavy" saw comment I found kinda entertaining, since back in the 60's the XL-12 was marketed as "the lightest direct-drive chainsaw". In 1971 or 72 the XL-12 changed to red from blue.ģ. If the serial number has 7 digits, then it's a '63 up to maybe a '66. Without a serial # I can't say for sure, but based on the pics of your saw, type of muffler, style of handle, it looks like late 60's perhaps up to 1970 or 71. So it looks like that saw could be a regular XL-12. To my knowledge, all Super XL's had come with an auto oiler. The pics you attached look like it has a manual oiler for the bar. (I'd also like to see a "newer" plastic saw survive falling out of my tractor bucked several times.hey, it happens)Ģ.
See if those "New" saws they have now will be alive, running and be able to get parts for in 50 yrs. Don't listen to the "a newer saw" is the way to go folks here.
