Want to Buy Stihl 034 super project

[Totembear]

Want to buy an 034 super project saw. If you've got one you want to sell let me know. Should have a useable cylinder, some light scoring ok. Plastics and tank should be there too in ok shape. I just get in these moods where a certain saw intrigues me! Thanks

I've got one on the bench now getting crank seals, but I think I'll keep it. They are a great saw. Definitely worthy of your intrigue. It's a tad on the small side compared to the rest of your fleet, though!
Good luck finding one!

 

[Totembear]

Yeah thanks. I've got an 034 and am putting together a ported 034 but the super has always intrigued me. I sold an 026 super a couple of years back that I wish I would have kept.

 

[rushinrio12]

The 026 is already such a great saw. A super version would only make it better! I didn't realize there was an 026 super, though. What are the specs?

 

[Totembear]

I meant 024 super. Sorry for the typo!! Lol. The predecessor to the 026. Dont see too many of them either.

 

[rushinrio12]

I think the 026 still has a better power-to-weight ratio than the 024 Super. Obviously you are a man who values a good power-to-weight ratio. I see the 372xp at the top of your list. I almost had one of those for real cheap, but the deal fell through. I can't wait to find one and put it through its paces.

I tell you what, I'm basically a Stihl man but the 372 is a winner in my book. The older I get the more I appreciate lighter, powerful saws and light guidebars! Lol.

I have a 034 or 34S I do not remember. I will be running it this afternoon. I have a 036 that will need a good cleaning. I have a couple 026's. If you are interested let me know

How about this for a light, powerful saw?

Sears/Roper Sportster Lightweight 917.351090. The one in the picture has the 17" bar, but mine has the 21" bar. Both are 60cc. IIRC, I set it on my scale dry but fully dressed and it came in at 12.5 lbs. My 025 wet with 14" bar weighs the same. I'm sure it isn't as powerful as a modern 60cc saw, but it is vintage, and that makes up for a lot. The spark plug is broken off, but with a new plug and carb kit, it should be a fun toy.

I think there are 3 of them on my local Craigslist now. Runners though not projects

I have the 024S, and to be fair I've not run an 026, only an MS260, but I find the 024 Super to be more powerful. More torque.
Still want an 026 though

The 024 super probably would have more torque since it has a longer stroke. I guess I would have to run it back-to-back with an 026 to figure out which I like better. I usually lean toward a saw with more torque, so it would be an interesting test. Oh, great. Now I need more wood to cut. What a burden!

Well there you go. Another saw needed and found

The 024 Super is my favorite saw. I bought a non-running 024S for parts, but now I'm rebuilding it instead

What part of Michigan are you in for Craigslist?

What part of Michigan are you in for Craigslist?

Those were both in the marketplace on Facebook. I think they were listed in Mid-Michigan man stuff

The 034 I have is just that a 034 not a S

Isn't your 036 the same thing as an 034 Super?

 

[Totembear]

Basically....
