any stihl bar guru's here?

[Wood Doctor]

That bar needs to be redressed and given some tender loving care. After that, it could have dozens of hours left in it. I've restored many bars in far worse shape than this one. The nose is not replaceable, but I have done that for quite a few bars and saved them.

Last month alone I saved five 32" bars and three 36" bars for a logger who neglected them. The noses were rusted tight as a drum and both sides were orange with rust. I should have taken before--after Pics to show here but I failed to do so. My error.

The nose is not replaceable, but the sprocket is.

Good point, Mike. I stand corrected. Not easy, but it can be done. My Stihl dealers don't really want to mess with either of them. They want you to buy new bars instead.

[jakethesnake]

Ha ha.

 

[RI Chevy]

Lol. That was just the way I got it when I scored this 036. [emoji6]
All sharpened now. Saw was sent off to get fixed. Should come back like it has been on Steroids. [emoji106]

I also sharpened the 8 other chains that came with it. Lol
I think the guy just used the saw til chain got dull and put a new chain on. All chains had full chisel teeth. [emoji106]
Also 2 new in box 3/8 full chisel Stihl chains and a gallon of Stihl bar oil.
