Yes, asking $300 each as the ad states.

I'm sure you could find varying opinions on both the value and answer to your question, but in a word, scarcity. 1/2"/.063 full chisel chain is, to some, quite desirable and it's getting difficult to find.

I have five NOS 84DL loops of Stihl 1/2", .063 full chisel chain I'm selling. The pictures below are of an open one but the six to be sold are still sealed in their packages. I also have some Oregon 1/2" presets available to make these into different lengths if needed. Asking $300 each...

Yes, I have him as owning two.

I'm not sure off the top of my head, although I don't think so as I've only run across a couple of folks who had more than one. I'll check my records this evening.

They do still pop up on occasion. Over the years I've managed to document quite a few, some with details, some hearsay, but there are obviously droves more out there since they're just a Contra/Lightning to the untrained or uncaring eye. That reminds me, I forgot to include the extra verbiage...

I am looking for Stihl Lightning and/or Contra manuals from 1959. I'm willing to pay or trade for them. Stihl released Instruction Manuals and Spare Parts Lists in July, September, and November of 1959. I am most interested in a Lightning Instruction Manual from September of 1959, and any...

I am looking for 'sand cast' Contra/Lightning chainsaws and parts to add to my collection. To clarify what I'm talking about for anyone who may not know, this would be machines in the serial number range 82017-86585. If you have one of these saws, or a partial saw, or parts you'd be willing to...

For sale is a very nice gearbox cover from an 090G. This would also fit a Contra/Lightning G or GS. I haven't a clue what a fair price is for one of these as I have no idea when the last time was I saw one sell or how much it sold for. So, I'm going to list this "or best offer". $300 USD obo...

I have one of them left. If you're interested shoot me a PM and I'll send some pics.

Crap, sorry. That fell off my radar and I haven't been to the site in a while. I'll get that knocked out soon!

I can't speak for the later versions, although I would assume good fitment, but they'll mount to an 044/046/MS440/MS460. I'll dig them out in the next day or so and will send you some photos. I'll also need to figure out a fair price . . . I've had them for a long time and have no idea on...

I believe I've still got a couple of the Madsen's 3/4 wraps for 1128 saws. You only interested in OEM?

I have a nice, rare Wright C70G gear drive chainsaw that I would be interested in trading for a sand cast Contra (serial number range 82017-86585). The trade could be partial or full, depending on the condition & completeness of the Contra. My primary goal is to trade this saw for a sand cast...

Sorry man, that FS post was over 8 years ago, none of it left.

Mad Professor wasn't talking about rusted chain, he referenced chains bound up with hardened Stihl Bio-Oil. Heat always works for me in that specific situation.

I know this is a very old thread and you've probably found a good method but I figured I would post anyway. I have had great success simply hitting it with a heat gun for a few minutes. Loosens them up enough to make the chain movable and then they're good to go after a short bit of running.

Great post Brad! This is the kind of stuff people need to know!

That's a very common problem with the 031 and I believe the ignition system is the same on the 030. Every time I've personally seen it happen it was the coil going bad but if it's the condenser as noted above that would be a quicker/easier/cheaper fix so worth a try first. If it ends up being...
