My dad was going through the barn on our property and he found the old 041 Farm Boss that he thought had gotten stolen in the 1990's.
I checked it out and it will need points and probably the ignition module, and I think it needs a piston and ring. The piston that is in it has two rings, so I figure it is probably the OE piston. Its not scored and the cylinder isn't either, but the compression doesn't feel up there like it should.
If I end up having to replace the bearings too, I will probably end up with $150 in it.
I'm in my early 30's, and I don't ever remember this saw running. He said it was better than his Super XL Homelites.
It does not have an AV system from what I can tell, and honestly, the old saw is rough looking. The 044 I have that is shot has an AV system and it is cracked all to death, I don't know for sure that an 041 is in the same family, but I'm wondering if it is going to vibrate and break apart like my 044 did finally ?
I've worked on an 031 and I had a bad time getting the coil and points for it. Is that going to be a problem with an 041 ?
