Husqvarna 61 Date of Manufacture

[Bob95065]

I have a white top 61 that a friend gave me. I read on this forum that the tag gives the date of manufacture like this: YWWXXX. The serial # is 053219. I see 1980, 53rd week. Doesn't make sense.

I can't get the picture to rotate. Sorry

Can anyone tell me when this 61 was made?

TIA,

Bob

That method only applies to the slightly newer black tag models. Not sure if there's a way to accurately date older models
