Here's a 441 with a broken case and tank that I recently obtained.

I could make big $$$ selling bags full of various metric bolts!

Use the ones in there and use a cutoff wheel to shorten them. Pfui.

 

[Wilhelm]

Use the ones in there and use a cutoff wheel to shorten them. Duh.

Nonsense!
German engineers over engineer everything, those bolts are spares and can go missing!

 

[old guy]

I see that huskys are not the only ones that lose screws

Es läuft immer noch...
(It is still running...)

American Engineers have a saying about German Engineers' products:

Engineered to the point of failure, and priced accordingly.

In all fairness I love STIHL saws for their engineering and longevity, so the above should be reserved for Audi and BMW.

Update:

So I took the covers off the saw and it is dirty as *f-word.
Damp sawdust everywhere.
There is a hole in the air filter and he has used women's tights to cover the air filter.
The spark plug was loose and looks like it never sparked.
The carb is filthy inside, full of bits of dust.
There is what looks like dust and pitch burned onto the top of the piston.
Having said all this there is no scoring on the piston or the cylinder.
Oh, and it leaks bar oil out of somewhere. Badly.

@TheDarkLordChinChin : So what you're saying is a few reasonably priced parts from now it'll be near "good as new."

Gonna save it/rebuild it or part it out?

That will be parts. That one is a but too far gone to resurrect.

The bar oil leaking everywhere badly? This explains the first item on the list. Damp sawdust, which is everywhere.

I know you probably aren’t aware of this, but the saw produces dust & chips as it cuts. This dust mixes with the oil slung around by the saw and begins to stick to its various components.

You’re welcome. I’m sure that was helpful.
