i say get it, and i also say hang around on this site a little and you'll end up getting some other saws pretty quick. Better to use a saw with a chainbrake for the most of your cutting, especially if your teaching somebody, but theres no harm in using saws without chainbrakes once in a while...

haven't ever tried it - not too much ice fishing down under! But i couldn't imagine it would hurt the sprocket, if it were me id just pull the clutch cover off afterwards and dry it all out with some air and maybe a quick squirt of some wd40 etc

Very nice, was only using and admiring my 08s 2 days ago, truly a great saw, i picked mine up a year ago for $80aud, 3/8 chain, just needed a choke switch - which i bought 2 days ago from cheapstihlparts. :yourock: heres mine

hi, i'm after an IPL for an 066 - poly flywheel model (not sure if it matters) and a manual if possible email is [email protected] thanks in advance mick

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Stihl-070-chainsaw_W0QQitemZ290361246304QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Gardening_Equipment?hash=item439ae10260 Thought this may be of interest to somebody in Au, doesn't look like too much wrong and reasonable for $300 buy it now. Sorry if its a repost Mick

Haha you guys crack me up, huntsmans are that common over here, and they really are pretty harmless, the really don't bite unless stirred up and it takes a bit I'm not keen on spiders, but don't worry too much when i see these out the bush, Far less harmfull than a brown recluse/mouse...

Hell no, keep it and look for another saw - just retire it and maybe freshen it up if you get time, maybe a 365/372 or 440/460 would be good.

really gives me the irrits as i cant just type in chainsaw on ebay or i get flooded with all the crap "number one power seller 2200w 18"" etc etc i just type in stihl or husqvarna chainsaw, but then i don't get dolmar mac etc.

Thats a big bar - also a hella lot a money! If it looked well used imagine how worn the internals would be pulling a 72 inch bar - provided thats what it was used with. Ive got the 090 for bars that big - but have no idea what i'd ever need a bar that size for:dizzy:

Can't believe the number of people ive come across in the past couple of months who take the chainsaw into the 'local old guy who sharpens chains' or the hardware to get their chain sharpened, i'm not talking about taking a few loops of chains in either - the whole saw and one chain fitted...

Something along these lines: obviously ive got the scrench on the nut as if to tighten it and the chain is loose, but you get the picture, just hold if like this when tensioning and tightening.

Agree with bob, also, when you adjust it, then go to tighten the nuts lift the end of the bar up (the bar will have a little up and down play when the nuts are loose - you want it in the up position when tightening) I always tighten the back nut first then the front - although put them both on...

Congrats on the new saw:rockn: unless youve really got a use for 137cc's i'd be leavin it stock (if it aint broke don't fix it) Maybe if you need to put a new piston and or jug on it then go to the big one but at 150 psi id say it'll last a while yet and won't be short on power. Paint looks...

heres the reply to my question "An OEM is a company that manufactures the product but the branding is different. I am not willing to disclose the manufacturer" :dizzy:

"PISTONS ARE MANUFACTURED BY OEM SUPPLIER USING THE LATEST & MOST ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES. INCLUDES 1 PISTON RING, 1 GUDGEON PIN & CIRCLIPS" seems a bit suss, an oem 1 ring 066? can't say ive heard of one - or am i mistaken? Asked the guy who its made by as genuine 066's have 2 rings -...

What a great wife and a great saw, make sure you look after them both well, and give them all the attention they need, oh, and don't lend either of them to anybody.:cheers:

and people are bidding! just beats me why people bother!:confused:

I run the stock filter setup and just give it a good wash in the kitchen sink with warm soapy water, not sure if this is the ideal way - used to wash dirtbike filters with kerosene and oil them - but considering the stihl filter shouldn't be oiled i don't use kero just plenty of warm water. You...

Yea bob thats a good point about the GB inboard mount, thats why i'm in no hurry, may as well try and make it right. I'll do a search and have a look at your nose clamp as when i sat the uprights in place there was quite a bit of the nose on the outside. I'll definately look into aluminium for...

Heres a few pics of a mill i started making, at the moment ive got the saw - 090, 42" bar, and have made up the uprights/adjusters. I opted to go for the screw adjusters as there is no chance of them moving during operation, I intend on using an occy strap to hook the adjustment handles...
