Hello everyone:
Due to my wife having a terminal illness, I have decided it's time to considerably downsize my saw collection. I own a tree/firewood and sawmill business, and I worked at stihl on the side so I could learn saw repair when I was younger. I was a tech at a local shop for about 5 years, and then the shop closed and I bought the entire inventory out.
Right now, I am going over all my saws and fixing them, with intent to sell at least half. There will be about 25-30 over the next few months. I am starting with the smaller ones, and will work up to the 660's and 3120's at the end. There is going to be a ton of em.
I just pulled my Ms 260's and tore down and built 4 of them. I have 2 completely done right now, and ready for sale. Here's a list of what I did, and what they are:
Saw 1: Ms 260 pro.
Tore saw down to case, power washed case and tank
Re lubed lower bearings, checked crank etc.
full Oem gasket set, seals case gasket etc.
New fuel line and filter
New pulse line
New air filter
New clutch
New rings
Vacuum pressure test
Honed cylinder piston was good (see pics)
New air filter cover
Swapped top cover for a better top cover (old one had muffler melt)
Swapped rear muffler half for an open style, no baffle.
Rebuilt Walbro carb with Oem kit complete.
16" .325 bar, and I made 2 chains, they are low vibe, only because I have a 100' roll from the shop. Still, they are new chains, use em and abuse em!
I am running a tank through the saw now, making final carb adjustments
This saw is a decomp cylinder saw, and it is an adjustable oil pump. The pro sticker is not on the top cover. It still retains all the pro characteristics though. I can show you a pic of he old cylinder cover with the sticker if you'd like, but the replacement was in way better shape.
The saw runs awesome. Nice light saw, good power, and ready to go. Of course, everyone knows the 261 is about 500 and more for whatever size bar you choose.
I want 280.00 for the saw. I'll ship it as well of course, but that's extra.
Saw 2
Same thing, it was a Ms 260 pro
Tore down power washed, re greased and checked bearings and crank
Full Oem gasket set
Vacuum pressure test
New fuel line filter
New air filter
New pulse line
Open rear muffler, not the baffle one
New rings
Cylinder honed, piston was good
No decomp valve, I removed it because leak down showed it was losing compression replaced with a plug
Rebuilt carb with Oem Walbro kit
The adjustable oil pump was seized. The only replacement I had was a fixed non adjustable high flow pump. I used that, and it is driven off of crank. These ones oil while the saw is idling, and will puddle up. This saw was a pro, the difference between pro and regular was the adjustable oil pump and decomp vaLve. I can include a sprocket and drive gear if the buyer wants to replace the oil pump to make it adjustable again. The case is a pro case, so it has the hole on the bottom for the adjuster if you desire it. This oumonwkrks great though.
I am currently running a tank through this one as well. Just bucking some logs for the processor. Ping final carb adjustments, which is inky the low anyway. This one didn't get a new clutch, but it has the same. A 16" farm bias bar, used, and 2 new low vibe .325 chains.
240.00 for this one, plus shipping is extra if I have to ship it.
I'll sell both of them for 500.00 as a pair. Both saw have already had the rings set in from testing, and I sat them overnight in cardboard. No leaks, no oil puddles, etc. all good. These are both really nice saws.
I can't seem to figure out how to post pics, but I have pics of the saws finished, as well as the pistons and. Cylinders and parts as I put it together. Send me your email, and I'll send em to you of you want to see them. I can clear acreage, so a crane job, saw a barn for you, rebuild a diesel or a chainsaw, but I can't do pics on this site. Awful huh?
I have a third one for sale soon as well, I am waiting for another carb kit, and I haven't found a bar yet in my saw shop, so I am either waiting for a bar, or I may sell it as just the power head. It will be run and tuned of course first.
After these go out the door, I'll be working in the 361's and the 441's. All saws will be gone through top to bottom. Then the 036 saws, and yeah, I have 31 of em, those are our crews' favorite all around limbing and general saws. I wanted to give the arborist site guys first crack at em before I sent em to eBay. Good pro series saws that are ready for working.
If you've read this far, thanks for reading, send me a message if you want pics and more info.
