Anyone else read this tag?
I was talking with a collector of huskys and he is a husky
dealer for 40 years or so. He said his earliest 1982 266 is 6
digits and starts with 0. So this one being 5 digit might be
1981 first year saw. I was reading the 2 as year and he said
that wasnt in effect back then. I can see a 81 in black front
top area. 🤷‍♂️
[member=38]Spike60[/member] anything?

Not really sure on this. The first number being a "2" makes me
think it's a 1982. I need to look in a couple old musty books
and find out what the deal is. There's a chart that explains the
older serial numbering system in there somewhere.

Bill that sold them since 78 said his first 266's he got in 82
had 6 digits.
I'm at a loss for this one.
Better pic of the goldish tag.

Last year of the old serial numbers was indeed 1981. That saw
may be a 1982 as I suspected.
I'll try and get you this chart somehow so you can post it.
Covers all the saws from the 1970's. 266 isn't even on it; only
the 162SE and 61 from that chassis.

I was hoping someone else would by these. So today I gave in and
made a road trip for the 1986 husqvarna 266xp se in transition
years.
Also cub cadet 5220 efco 152 if I recall it right.
4th 266 I have had and 2nd of the CC 152.
Working old school metal chain brake too.

Pulled this from the 268 thread.
This 86 266 is silver tag SE with SE on recoil with XP on top
cover. Transition years is what I am told.
Get better pics them above after few days. Got kart racing to
do.

Wow, I've got to run downstairs and check all of my 266's and
268's!!!!
This is getting interesting, isn't it. ???
Here's what I found. I have two 268XP's, one a 1988 and one a
1990. The ID tags have neither SE or XP written on them; they
just say 268. The decals both say XP.
I have three 266's One from 1985 has SE on both the ID tag,
(silver), and the starter decal. The other two are both from
1987 and have SE on the ID tag but XP on the starter decal.
Those latter two saws, despite the SE on the ID tag, would be
considered 266XP's by everyone, including Husky. That's the way
it would have been listed in the catelog, on the box, the
owner's manual and the receipt when you bought it.
One other thing I'll check tomorrow are a few IPLs and owners
manuals. If as I suspect, the cover pages and such refer to
these saws as XP's, then that's how they should be defined. At
least here in the US, I think that the transition from SE to XP
was pretty much like I said earlier. Other markets may be
different, as it's really nothing more than a marketing term to
begin with.
However............. let me add more mystery here regarding
254's. I have a 254SE and a later 254XP, and there are a few
differences. There is a slight difference in the flywheel side
of the case as the later saw was altered to accomodate Air
Injection. Different muffler deflector and corresponding contour
at the front of the case, different flywheel shroud, and the
ability to accept the air injection snorkle are the changes I've
noticed....so far.

From what I learned there was 3 1986 IPL's. First 2 was SE on
recoil decal and 3rd later one was XP on recoil decal. All 3 had
XP decal on top cover.

266 running but had pretty good scuffing on ext side. Could tell
psi was still great pulling over. So I checked.
