Hello,
I went in to my local Stihl dealer and tried to order some simple common parts for an FS120 trimmer. I was expecting the shop to be able to look up the correct part numbers and order them. Unfortunately they say they can't even look up the part numbers because the FS120 is not in Part Smart.
So it looks like any machine that was not brought into the new Part Smart system will soon have all of the spare parts go away as most dealers won't have a way to find the parts anymore. Stihl will see no more usage / sales of these older parts and will swiftly discontinue them.
Get you parts orders in now for older machines before they become unobtainium!
