This saw is all original

 

[Lakeside53]

Close... I believe the Stihl tag on the side would have orginally said "Made in West Germany".

Good looking saw.

The other tag -the metal STIHL tag on the recoil side.

Stihlboy, I may have a inner dawg for that worn out looking saw , if you want one......I will look after Christmas, if I do you can have it.

Here's mine:

LOL! Actually, I'd like to have this one but it's not mine. A Stihl dealer is selling it for $200 OBO. Send me a note if you want details. I've bought too many saws this year already. That top cover will polish up pretty nicely.

Here's a couple old clunkers that restored.

My Farmboss also had a tag without the "Made in Germany" text on the recoil, and notice the same on brads FIL farmboss. Maybe there were different tags throughout history of the 041 ?

I bought mine new, 1972 I'm pretty sure - around 200.00 back then. Stihl using it. It's a plain 041, not FB, AV, no electronic ignition.

my guess is that they stopped that in 1977-1978

I see some 041's up for sale occasionaly in my area....are the parts getting harder to come by? Also, what are fair prices to pay for one?

I don't have a picture of mine (looks identical to Mike Van's) but I have my dad's old 041 Farmboss with no antivibe in great running condition and the vibes are really out of this world. I used to run it many years ago but I don't remember it being that bad, I put an antivibe cover on the handles and wear gloves but still it is brutal. Do they get worse or am I just spoiled by the newer saws?

 

[PatrickIreland]

From what I see on Ebay, there are plenty of parts available! Not sure what a fair price would be, I suppose it depends totally on condition...
I've just been out in the front garden (suburban street!) cutting up old decking planks (no nails in it). Stack them 4 thick on top of an old truck tyre for ground clearance, and it just rips right through them. It's keeping the place nice and warm as I write this, a little sparky though!

+1 !

If you are a bit handy, these are nice project saws ! All the ones I found were non runners and came cheap. Apart from one bad electronic ignition, they all were brought back to life for little money !

My trick is I don't own any 'newer' saws - It doesn't seem to bother me - I'm 57, I use mine [or one of the 3 old Homelites] most everyday.

I enjoy burying the bar on that 041, it just pulls and pulls. It is a little unnerving not having a hand guard or chainbrake when you are used to it. After running it my 290 feels like a Cadillac because of the vibration.
