Here you go This is the crank: I have given it all a quick clean, refitted everything and it all works a treat. Thanks for everyones help. J

The bearing is new and the crank isnt in too back condition. I think its the grease that makes it look rough but will take a pic with something better than an upside down ipad and post it. Cheers

It was the brake band! I engaged it and disengaged it and the drum dropped straight on which is strange as I had done that before and it didnt make a difference. Is the brake band adjustable? Time for a quick clean and reassemble to see if it works! Thanks everyone.

3 spring I guess. Will pull the clutch off tonight.

Hi, I managed to get hold of another drum part no 30384 and that has the same problem so I am wondering if my clutch is out of spec. Really stumped by this so any suggestions would be appreciated. Cheers.

It looks like the Oregon drum has a slight taper in at the base. Most of the side is straight but the last 10% tapers in by a few thou. I guess this combined with being slightly narrower than the original makes it stick when fully inserted. I am wondering if they are all like this or if I...

I will dig out the calipers tonight and measure both the edge and the centre to see if its different. Also wondering if there is a difference between oregen parts 29917x and 30384x. Anyone know? J

Ok, have taken it apart and the Oregon drum is 0.020" smaller inside diameter. The part numbers are: Stihl original 1118/01 Oregon drum 29917 The drums drops on ok for 3/4 then the last 1/4 is really tight. Wondering if I have the correct kit for my saw! J

Yes, just checked the box and it 29917

Props to chainsawr.com Package arrived a couple of weeks ago with a muffler and chain catcher and I finaly got time over the weekend to fit them. Great to deal with and the only downside being, that due to living half way round the world, the delivery costs of anything from the US gets a bit...

Hi Folks, I posted this yesterday but I edited the post and it seems to have disapeared so trying again. Sorry if it pops back up and I end up double posting. I needed to replace the sproket on my 028AV so I bought an oregon rim sprocket kit. I have tried fitting it but the clutch drum is...

Hi folks, I needed to replace the sprocket on my 028av so I decided to buy an Oregon rim sprocket kit for. Just tried to fit it and found the drum that fits over the clutch is a very tight fit and because of this the saw wont turn the sprocket. Any suggestions on fixing this? Thanks J

Thanks for the info. I had a look at the chainsawr site and there is a couple that may be what I need. Will have to see how much shipping to New Zealand is :) Here are some pics of what I have: From Pioneerguys photo it would appear that I have the later muffler? Cheers J

Hi Folks, I have just aquired a Stihl 028 AV Super that has been passed down a few generations. Its a little rough around the edges but runs well. It seems like a good saw so I would like to keep it going. Will be replacing the bar and chain as they are very worn plus probably replace the...
