It would not surprise me if that sells.

Between the 038 and 038 special, I would take the special. It has a larger piston and more power. I had a coworker that both saws and I liked the 038 Super better. Good saw, good power, not bad to work on. I ended up having to split the case on the 038 Super to replace the bearings and was a quick and easy process. My coworker was using 28" bars on the saw and that made them a little front heavy, if using a lot, I would probably put a 24" bar on it. Parts are still plentiful.

This one's an 034 Super. 61ish CC. There much difference in it and the 038 Special, other than 10 CC? I'd probably port it so it'd handle a 24" bar. That'd justify spending the big bucks to replace the 24" on my ported 044 with a 28".

Shoot...yeah, I overlooked that small detail. I think the 034/034 Super situation will be similar, the super is a little larger piston and a bit more cc, probably puts it up closer to an 036. I don't think the 034 will have an issue with a 24" even without porting. An 026 will handle a 20" bar so jumping to an 034 should handle the 24 with no issues.

That's kind of what I've found. Supposedly Stihl went to a "better" cylinder design on the Super. Larger intake and maybe other stuff. Same cylinder as the 036 if I'm not mistaken. I like the Stihls from this era.

The thing is missing a knob on one of the handles, that makes it a piece of junk, I can take it off of your hands if you want... :D

thepic makes it look mint, but its well used. somebody gave it a rattle can paint job at some point, the handles are all buggered up, one of em is just a threaded rod welded in there 🤦‍♂️. the bummer is the damage to the table, but just cosmetic ultimately.

A good table might turn up, if you are patient.

It’s like a truck with a dented bed. Just broken in. The bits alone were worth the price. Having the stand on wheels will be nice.

Wasted the morning driving 40 miles to look at this "never got used" 026. It was very used. 3/4 of the bar paint was gone and had lots of chips in the paint on the front end and bottom. Was actually an 026 Pro, very clean, no damage, ran well, high compression, new Stihl 33RS chain. Told the guy it was worth $250 to me but I'd give him $300. He countered with $340. lol. Drove home without it.

Never got used must mean something different in Placer county than it does in Sacramento county.
