Oldmansbike Posted September 13, 2023 Report Posted September 13, 2023 My 226vs is serial number 5135 and I bought it new in 1996. Quote
kmmcrafts Posted September 13, 2023 Report Posted September 13, 2023 My 226VS serial 10290 was bought new in Dec. 1998.. Quote
Dan Posted September 14, 2023 Report Posted September 14, 2023 Welcome to the Villiage, Jack. So far, it sounds like your saw is newer than 1998. Hope to see some of your work soon. danny and kmmcrafts 2 Quote
DME72 Posted October 1, 2023 Report Posted October 1, 2023 if you look on the motor and see what brand it is i should be be able to get a rough date within a few years. RBI changed motors 3 or 4 times on the ultra series. if it has the black flex air line it is 2002-2003 or newer. Quote

While I didn't buy it new.. It was still in a sealed box from Hawk.. My 1998 sealed in the box when I bought it in 2017 came with the black flex hose.. Quote
