Howdy folks, Long time. Hope everyone is well.
I have a buddy with a MS251C that sustained an impact, got hit by a trailer in the woods I think, and the tank is broken. He says it stihl runs fine, not much use on it, and he'd like to either find an intact tank or someone who wants a good parts saw to rebuild one that's worn out. I suppose my question is whether there are any special considerations for doing this with a modern clamshell saw. I know the 025/250 was pretty straightforward, but the letter "C" suggests there might be a complexity or vulnerability I know nothing about. Thoughts?
