044 pistons never went down around me, but bought an 064 piston last month for a bit over $70. Go figure

Does stihl make a 3/8-8 tooth small rim sprocket for a 260?

 

[Definitive Dave]

OEM 064 pistons dropped about $25 in January of 2016 for me and we dropped the price, we ordered ahead about 20 and the price jumped back up to more than the 2015 price in January 2017, all of our stock sold pretty quickly after that and our new COST is higher than our old SELLING price which includes profit, shipping, packaging, ebay and paypal fees !!!
Every distributer has a different price from Stihl North America and Stihl Germany and every Distributer sets their own list price, dealers also have different discount level obviously.
Distributers do not exchange stock, they are in competition with each other.
Mike and I compared prices once on an item we both bought after he told me he got 30% off. I get less than that and am the largest end user of Stihl parts in my territory, so I was curious.
Turns out I actually paid less because his dealers list price was so much higher. He is only 4 hours away but a different distributer services his area.

What do you mean by this? If I have a part on back order, I have the ability to call my distributor and they will check other distributors inventory, and if another distributor has it, then the part will drop ship directly from them. And if I met my shipping qualifications it will come free freight.

Guess these OEM 54mm 066/660 are worth hangin on to,,,
Might just keep em in the freezer for safe keepen

This is what i was told by the guys at our distributer when we looked for some parts that were out of stock here.

Said another dist had what i wanted and it wasnt even nla there but they wouldnt ( i read that as couldnt) send them to bryan

Those would be a lot more common than 064 pistons.

Is Bryant a dealer or distributor? Whoever they are, I know they're large because they were very present at the stihl timber sports show i went to in Chicago last year. I always assumed in order to deal with a distributor you had to be a dealer. Maybe not in Ohio? Distributors won't automatically release backorders from other distributors unless I call and ask em too. I assume that's how it is for other dealers.

Not totally, you can have a gold tech and not be elite. But you can't be elite without a gold tech.

not that I can find

Bryan is a Distributor. I am NOT a dealer, I work through a dealer. I will never be as cheap as a dealer, even if I could be in some few cases.
I encourage customers to work with any actual dealer who doesn't suck and will recommend one when i can. Unfortunately this isn't an option for everyone.

Here locally the dual port muffler cover for the 044/046/MS440/MS460 is NLA for more than a year. I found one on the shelf of a dealer while I was out in California and when they looked it up for me they could still order them, not NLA for them, though the list price was about $6 more than i paid the last time i was able to buy one locally.

yea I remember reading that those covers were going to become nla last year sometime maybe? or the year before? I don't remember, but I bought myself one that stocked one at the shop...they still are not nla as of today. that's odd they were for your dealer. unless they looked up the wrong one? 1128 145 0805 is also a dual port cover that will show not available to usa dealers.
