Dan Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DME72 Posted October 1, 2023 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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..
