Year of manufacture model 36 s# 5213372 husky saw

[TJ 1951]

Can someone tell me what year the above saw was made? Thx in advance!

Based on the serial number format Husqvarna used before 1999, your model 36 with s/n 5213372 was likely manufactured in 1995, during the 21st week of that year. The first digit typically indicates the last digit of the year and the next two digits represent the production week. Since the model 36 was produced in the early to mid 90s, 1995 lines up with the known production window.

Has the saw been modified or rebuilt at any point? That could affect the accuracy of the serial tag if parts were swapped.

Seems like I read that the 36 was made by Poulan, not Husky. Is this sci-fi or real?

I did a bit of research and here’s what I found. Hope it helps.

Serial number 5213372 is a 7‑digit number consistent with older Husqvarna saws that were produced before the modern 9+‑digit format began.

Older Husqvarna serials can be decoded to approximate manufacture year when matched up with known production windows.

The Husqvarna 36 was introduced in 1991 and discontinued in 1997, so any serial number from this model has to fall within that range.
That means this Husqvarna 36 was most likely built in 1995.

The Model 36 was manufactured by Husqvarna Vapenfabriks AB in Huskvarna, Sweden.
