I ran a 24" bar on an 036 for many years. I finally got smart and figured out it was so far out of balance it was wearing me out......constantly pulling up on the front handle and pushing down on the rear. It's less work to handle a heavier power head that balances your bar, and it cuts faster...

Or just a whole pile of Pro Stihls

How 'bout a quartet of MS200 rear handle saws.

I've been cutting wood for a long time, and I have heard quite a few guys mention (incorrectly) that long bars cut faster than short ones. But it has taken me 30 years to figure out why. It all comes down to the dealer salesman. This is generally speaking of course, but when Joe Homeowner...

034 and 036 top ends are not completely interchangable on all the cases. Take a look at this pic right above the area where the chain brake spring resides. One case is taller than the other and will hit the fins on the cylinder. It's not a big deal to grind down for clearance, but I thought I...

$325 for the power head only. They were all in good mechanical shape but ugly cosmetically. Most guys want a shiny saw even if it's a POS mechanically. I don't have those. Lots of Craigs List tire kickers asking piles questions and then never showed up. Everyone that came out bought at...

I'm in North East Oklahoma and recently decided to sell off some of my Stihl collection (see sig line for detail) Here's what sold. 4ea 024/026 7ea 034/036 1ea 044 3ea 046 4ea 066 I have only had one inquiry about 044's and the guy bought one. 044's are pretty dead on the used...

I have several 036's but only one MS360. The 360 has a rounded top cover and a tear drop air filter knob, wereas the 036's have flat top covers and round air filter knobs. When you change between the air filter knob style, you also have to have the correct corresponding air filter to allow it...

I guess I'm the black sheep here, but those wounds don't look like much to me. I can't imagine going to the docter and getting stitched up for that scratch. Tony

With that angled air filter cover knob....I can tell you, there is only one tab on the latch engaging one of the air filter nuts. The choke is in the filter. There is a small white plastic tab that hangs down on the right hand side of the filter that engages another tab/cam on the master...

I saw a hydraulic underwater chainsaw show up on Craigslist and wondered if anyone here as ever used one, underwater. If you are felling an upright tree that is submerged, are there differences in felling tequnique versus an above water cut? Anything else one should know before giving it a...

Unless it has changed yet again, the latest greatest carb part number is 1129-120-0653. That was as of 9/15/2012. Tony

I'm in the gun business and guys are always hiding their new stuff from their wife. The best way I have seen, is where the guy tells his wife he is going shooting at the range and walks out of the house with several hard gun cases......however, one of the cases is empty. Then he comes by my...

No saws....just an AR in 375 Auto Mag. Tony

+1 on Brad's comment. I believe I have eight 046/460's with several different bars/rims, but my go-to 046 has a 28" Light bar on it. If I need something longer, I use an 066/660. Tony

It kinda looks like it slowed down with the timing advanced. Tony

I always thought a 3/4 wrap would come in handy on a limbing saw, but I brought it up here a couple of years ago, and about got run off the board for even mentioning such a thing. Tony

I have an 036 that had the same problem. Cleaning the carb didn't help. I put a carb kit in it, and the problem was solved. Tony
