It must have been awesome to go into Woods or Madsens 20 years ago and seen shelves of brand new 032, 041 Super ,056 Mag2, 076... and more....
 
It feels good too.. tight... all new buffers.. in fact.. all new everything... ;)


I do need to run it a while and set the ignition correctly (that will be interesting...).

Are you actually going to sell it? I can't imagine collecting parts for months to just sell it right away.

nope... eveything has it's price, but to me right now it's "priceless".

I will sell the original saw though... and currently it's spoken for.

Ready to power up... All I'm missing is a tiny bar and two screws to hold the rubber deflector on the back of the clutch cover, and they are coming from Stihl.


I do have a few spots to touch up wth gray paint, but.. ready to fuel up and test.


And... I need a new oil cap... and they are available.

Does the new oil cap look like the one now on the saw, or does it look like the fuel cap? My 031 has fuel and oil caps that both look like your fuel cap. Are these available from Stihl? I can vaguely remember going into Stihl, Homelite, and McCulloch dealerships as a kid and seeing the 'grand old saws' we now love. got to see a few new Echo twins too. My dad pointed them out!
 
I believe the 056 oil cap is now more like the fuel cap style.


The 031 caps are no longer available (new).

One of my favorite saws ( I have three) to start with, and that one is the best looking I've ever seen. Be careful, right now you say you'll only run it a little, but you and I know that these particular ones can hard to put down once you start. Man have fun with that masterpiece.
