If you still live in Lexington, maybe I should drive down and try one for myself? I am just a little over a hour east of you or you could come to Jackson and I could give you a tour of some of the largest mining equipment east of the Mississippi. :rock:
It comes down to knowing your clients. A lot of firewood hacks around here sticks with 029s but the timber cutters want 044 or bigger pro models. Stihls sales around here like gold, everything else might as well be doggy poop. I have been demonstrating a Jonsered 2171 to some of the guys and...
What will power!:D If there ever was a saw that needed a compression release button it is these. I have a orange one that is super strong. I need a coil for mine now (the money for one) it is cracked up and when it gets hot it craps out. If you get the parts saw maybe we can work out a trade...
A man should be able to come up with a good used 026 for two bills but if I was on a tight budget I would do something different. If you are going to rebuild the 024 there is really no need to have to saws of similar size lying around. Anything in the 300 hundred dollar range from stihl you...

Maybe we should start a donation for you so you can recoup some of your lost. It does not have to be money, we all have parts laying around. Maybe we could send you the parts and you could build a saw for your loss. We can call it save stihls066 saws campaign.
I don't know about that Clint guy though! He sent me a chainsaw that all it wants to do is drink mix and eat hardwood. (After I got the right b/c combos :rock:). I hate that for you all with things the way they are now it is hard enough to kept a household going without set backs like that...
I know you are the man with the facts so here is a question. I was looking at the Oregon website and according to their chart a 2171 with a 3/8 by 7 pin spur requires a .063 gauge chain. Is this this true, Super Troll? I really want use this saw as my big firewood saw. I am looking for a...
You might be right but when I compared a large mount to this one the enlongated slot on the large mount seems to be a longer causing it to be able to slide back a little further.
