...judjing by your model # I'd say your saw is around a 1968.I have quit a few of these and just gave one to the old mac guy. This model has 4.4 CI,and should have a 21" bar,they made a smaller one with a 17" bar. They also made these saw in orange and blue. Some of these models had the self sharpener ,and some were the easy start.,they dropped bradleys name somewhere between 62-64.From what I've found out bradley still produced up till around 68, but under Ropers name who bought them out in 66.Gets confusing when the government gets involved.
1910 Sears, Roebuck and Co. purchased the David Bradley Manufacturing Co. As part of Sears, Bradley made all sorts of goods, including war materials. Sears ultimately used the ?Bradley? trademark on all agricultural items sold in the catalog, irrespective of the source of manufacture. Sears sold Bradley in 1962 as part of an anti-trust deal with the federal government.
...I think bradley was still producing but with sears name on it not bradleys until they got bought out.The funny thing is sears was monopolizing the market back then so the government made them sell bradley, roper bought it and sears owned about half of roper. So doesn't make much sence to me.I notice alot of the saws and the tractors didn't change much till about 67-68 when roper came in. I also have quite a few of the garden tractors also.I think bradley was still producing but with sears name on it not bradleys until they got bought out.The funny thing is sears was monopolizing the market back then so the government made them sell bradley, roper bought it and sears owned about half of roper.
