Relate to numbers/dates which inturn would give saw specs year of build cc. This progression of numbers can be used to identify when a unit is built or tell you when a change was made to the product. Their is no date information directly put into a Stihl serial number. The model number and serial numbers are needed to identify what year. The 028 Wood Boss is a chainsaw that Stihl has manufactured for a number of years. Certainly, it takes time to move the engine to the BR600 assembly line, assemble it, then ship it to the various interim locations before it went to the dealer. At least I know the unit was not standing around in a warehouse somewhere for a long time. I purchased the BR600 on 5/17/07, and the engine was manufactured on 2/27/02. They came right back with the Date of Manufacture based on the serial number etched on the engine. I wrote to STIHL Customer Service from their Web Site, and gave them my serial number. So a 2008 model would be 0812345. Hope this helps. The 80's are black and the 90's till present are orange. We have used three colors thru the years. That serial would make this saw a 1985 or 95 year model depending on the color of the top of the saw made in the tenth week of the year. The first number on the older saws is the last number of the year.
