I got a blue homelite with a red zip printed on the side. It is pretty heavy and big. the serial no; 1090590 the only other number I found was on the bottom 55520-A . Does any body know what size,when it was made. I had it gave to me with very little use. It starts on the secound pull. and runs great, I just wanted a little bit of history on it
thanks
Doug
