STIHL The Official Stihl Chainsaws Thread

Since you mentioned it I have a 200T I picked up from dealers dead pile they thought had thrown a rod .Turns out the clutch brake band anchor pin came loose rattled around and some how got lodged in the hole next to one of the magnets in the flywheel and hung it .20 whole dollars and I had it running 20 minutes after I got it home .The Saturday money saver or just plain good luck .

You would think a dealer might know better!

You got it all wrong...they sold a new saw see, the problem just has to convince the buyer.

More to that story I think .First of all it was Saturday almost right before quitting time ,maybe 2:30 PM .I always chew the fat with the lead mechanic every time I went to that dealer .Plus it was a trade in from a tree service company .They just didn't want to fool with it .The mechanic who is now the owner just gave me a break .Shall we just say it was a cash deal and let it go at that . Since I mentioned it though I've hauled some pretty good rebuilders from that dealer over the years .It's not like a lot of forums where they attempt to get premium prices from questionable saws you only hear about but never see .

Not easy to come by , nice find.

I don't recall if any of my 038's have a wrap but one of my 048's does .That one BTW had a coil that failed on advance wouldn't run worth a hoot until I figured it out .As luck would have it be I identified that coil on a forum I'll never access again and bought it for 5 bucks via e-bay .Lady luck waved her magic wand on me on that one .

Anyone have a line on v stacks for an 046 or 044?

I'm not versed in the differences. This says it fits 044/440 but not 046/460. They're 3D printed to the best of my knowledge. Not shiny or perfectly smooth like aluminum, but they're affordable.I have two on Husqvarna 359s. For the price they're a good product IMHO.

@RI Chevy Here's a close up of the one I received for my 359.

Nice. TY for sharing

 

[merc_man]

It turned out pretty good. Now i dont think it will fit on the rack. Will have to move the hook down a bit.

Wow. Super clean looking for an older saw.

Ya its pretty much new. My uncle baught it new many years ago and maybe ran a couple tanks through it and then it sat for years. I baught it in about 2008ish and ran a few tanks through it then i just hung it on the shelf and just fired it up once and a while then last year ran a tank through it. I should start using it more I guess. I do have anotjer 038mag that been well used as well.

Picked up this nice early 026 the other day. Looks to have been cared for. 150 psi…is that ok for these? Minor scuffs on the piston, but nothing to really bad. “O” code on the parts.

 

[RI Chevy]

Nice metal tag 026!

 

[Maintenance Chief]

As promised, first run after the muffler port added, a little bit smoky at first.

 

[Maintenance Chief]

She makes milling look like kid stuff.

 

[RI Chevy]

Nice job. Looks and sounds like a real strong saw!

I may have missed it but I don't think pics of an 048 have been posted in this thread, so here we go. Just rebuilt with a NOS piston and rim drive sprocket, pretty minty for its age I reckon:

 

[Maintenance Chief]

Anyone with experience on porting an 090 cylinder? Maybe some simple changes for improvement.

I’m digging through a box of 066 parts and trying to ID the various sub-species the parts belong to, is a pto side case half p/n 1122 020 2905 for an old flattie/red light 066?
