Any 50cc class saw... They're heavier than the 346, and don't cut as fast, but they're nice saws anyway. Longevity and dependability were their strong suit... Not to mention I just like cutting with them... Can't quantify that statement though...

My 028 is awaiting a new clutch side seal, and I think I will try to dual port the muff (while I'm waiting!!). I have lowered the squish and ported a bit, but I think I still need some work.....
I'm like Jerry, I've sold many 028s......I would like to acquire a nice super for the collection though....[/QUOTE]
I think I might keep this one for a while;

We all end up with some smoking deals from time to time. Some folks just don't understand the value of a saw to a victim of CAD.

Glad I'm not the only one that's done that:msp_thumbup:
I`ve gotten some horrified looks while zooming along the highway with a 100+cc chainsaw sporting a 32" bar bungied to the rear seat of my Honda 500XL...LOL

Back in the '80s, the 028 was the first Stihl I bought on my own and used to make money doing tree work. Because of that, there will always be an 028 of some version in my collection. And a saw I'll use, not just look at. You can have it when you pry it from my cold dead fingers.
Nuff said? :msp_sneaky:

As for depressed prices lately for 028 saws, that model was one of the most popular in modern chainsaw history. Like the Homelite XL series saws, the 028 changed a LOT of things when it was introduced.
Time marches on, and it's marched far enough so the venerable 028 series is falling out of demand. Just like those of us who got to neck with the gal before she was of legal age.
As for me, I'm glad prices have come down. Makes it even cheaper to pick up parts saws.

I wouldn't want to pay that much for one, but in the grand scheme of things, for what you get, they're worth that... What can you get at the saw shop for 250 smackers? Not much... :msp_wink:
