Stihl chain saws 1929 - 2012

[JDNicol]

Is the list from Stihl, or has it been compiled by someone outside Stihl?

Most of the info I notised when looking through it fits with other Stihl dokuments I have seen, but there also are some that isn't consistant with some other lists (from Stihl) that I have (or with Stihl website info I have made a note of).

Brings up the debate again as to whether the 066 was released in 1991 or before

I don't trust some of the info on the Stihl websites e.g. this wallpaper;
http://www.stihllibrary.com/wallpaper/stihl_051_av_1024.jpg

It says the electronic igniton was installed on the 050 and as result of constant updates was finally renamed the 051 in 1972... but the 051 was still installed with the points set up unitl 1974! (As per other Stihl literature).

I have been told a lot of false information by Stihl Technical (USA) in the past also, on questions about older saws.

What happened to the original list?

Sure, I mostly trust documents from the factory in Germany, unless when they can't agree with themselves , but basically nothing that the marketing peope state. Also, there often is a difference between what happened in Germany/Europe and what happened in the US. This list had the focus on Germany, not on the US.

I still don't really understand why he removed it, even after a few pms back and forth, based on my questions in one of my posts.

The list is returned.

I hope it is ok so

The content is no guarantee of correctness.

This is not a list of Stihl

It is my list. :msp_cool:

Much better format and so much easier to read.

Store the images and make them larger.

So you can also read well

Your original format was much better for a simple copy/paste acquisition process.

Perhaps there is an interpreter from Troms in the house?

just out of interest i have an old saw which i believe to be an 051AVEQ but the name tag was has worn i could only make out a V and it has a chain brake (quickstop) and electronic ignition but the serial number starts 1105 ? it also looks different to my other 051 well mainly the the air filter shroud its taller than my other one and taller than the 076 i have in the shed so im still not 100% as to what model it is

The 066 "started" some years earlier in fact, in Germany - but that was a different thread......:msp_wink:

Unfortunately the serial number has little to do with what model it is, but you can get an estimate of the age. Starting 1105 corresponds to approx 1982.
Post a picture of the saw if you can. It sounds like it may have the TS510/TS760 air filter set up.

I am sorry, I thought this was an obituary for a German saw company, "1929-2012"

Just kidding.

I agree. Sounds like it has the cutoff saw filter cover/setup installed.

JD, new to forum not to hefting saws, been taking a close read on your 051 posts-you sir have done a tremendous service taking the time to discuss the tells between the 051/075. I think many of us still running the early models have acquired some level of Franken-saw. I have been milling with my 051 for some time and know a cylinder is in my future. As I prepare for that inevitability I have interested to see just what the saw I have might be. Acquired with a 20" bow bar turning .404, shifted to a 30" super skip for ripping... Yes it is a bear to hold onto. Will try to upload a picture. Serial unfortunately is a six digit: 6866641. Thoughts gentlemen on age?

This is a more informative and active thread on the 1111 series saws also started by JD, though he himself is not very active these days. And unfortunately, many of the pictures from earlier posts were lost during an AS site hack a couple of years ago. Still a lot of great stuff and helpful folks here.
