Daaaaang. Love those 372's. Especially the xpw. Maybe I'll be able to get ahold of one, one of these days

Most expensive caps on earth I imagine.
Farmertec includes them on their MS290 replacement crankcases which for some reason cost twice as much as any of the others and despite my offer to buy 2000 of them at whatever price they wanted to name, they wont/can't sell them separately.
So after shipping and customs they run me about $48.00 for a pair, but they are flippy caps that don't flip, you just twist them in and they lock.
no idea what is really going on in regards to this but they look cool on a saw and we all know looking cool makes a saw fast and powerful

So those caps will replace the flippy caps? I've never taken them off the 290 case to find out. Are they better than the flippy's?

I've seen them a few times...just didn't have, or didn't want to pony up what they were asking at the time.

they replace the larger flippy caps nicely, I haven't put any hours on them but a tree service has an MS361 they got from me early this year that has one on it I got as a sample and it is still working fine and leak free
I worry a little that they may ear out themselves or wear the mating surface on the tank opening, but only time will tell I guess, I certainly don't put enough time on a saw that imagine it would ever be a problem.
I know some guys hate flippys like the caps stole from them

It's 00

It's 2009 week 3. They didn't have the xpw with the bigger cylinder until late 2006.

I like it!!

Dex got a thread on them on my site. Gregg was having them made up way back when.

Dont know if they ever made it for sale individually or not through Gregg.

Thread dates back to 2011 http://chainsawrepair.createaforum.com/stihl/video-of-the-stihl-flippy-cap-replacements/

video from thread, 3 pages worth

Check post above with video of the ones from 2011.

First time I seen them. Thanks.

I like how the ones in video are made with turning area being one solid piece across. Over the 2 tabs deal.

Hey maybe my eyes aren't as bad as I thought! She's an '09 like I originally guessed. Either way nice 372.

@Gentleman and @DexterDay I gave Gregg a holler in the thread to see what happened with the ones he was receiving.

How do you give the EPA the finger? Send a Trio-brake E-Tech 346 to Randy.

She isn't in compliance any more.........

Here is a pile I picked up last fall.

There's two chainsaw augers in there one attached to a C-5 and another I think was on a C-72
