I thought I might start a new thread to show the finished saw. Some that might like to see this might never find it at the end of a 30 page thread, where the build doesn't start until half way through it. This is the first of three 084s I'm doing. This one was taken down to bare case halves and reassembled with a new OEM P&C. Everything was cleaned and is in proper working order. The weakest link on this saw is the bar/clutch cover that was cracked and repaired. The crack was drill in order to stop it, and then repaired with JB Weld. It's in a non-structural area, so should be of no concern. If you've got questions about anything I've done here, feel free to ask. We're all here to learn. I know I've learned a lot about 084s in the last 2-3 weeks!
The Stihl name plate will be replaced with a proper riveted on metal one.
New metal model plate.
There's a little chip yet that I need to dress off on the rear handle.
