It's all fun to save on a saw and get what you think is a good deal, but when Stihl and Husqvarna are gone all you have left is that saw in the corner with the fried crank rod bearing that you can't change. I got a new ms180 motor from them and put it in the neighbors saw for him, he used it half a day and it locked up. The saw was properly vacuumed and passed all tests, no other parts were damaged at all and I pre-oiled all bearings on assemble.
I spent two weeks back and forth with -- you know rum proper oil, we send you new bearing (lower rod bearing), you take many picture, you not assemble right you eat it American dog pig!!!!
It's in the corner somewhere, I no longer care. Point is, using a few parts to repair a good saw sometimes helps in a pinch, but most often the meat of the saw needs to be of quality or forget it.
