stihl 028av super

[chainsawchap]

looking to do my first chainsaw build from the cases up. I ordered a new highway cylinder kit my good friend rmh is going to help me do a mild port and polish on it very excited about the build.

reason I am posting is looking for the size of the bearings for the bottom end to try to resource some good parts I don't want china bearings it aint about the money I want a nice solid saw to sell to the chainsaw enthusiast or someone who thinks my time has a value I guess.

from what I understand stihl bearning an seals are very costly and there are other good companys who sell bearings and seals.

any information would be greatly apricaited

keep them saws ripping

Looking for someone with knowledge of were bearings and seals are made for these saws I want no parts of china parts sorry china purists just poor quality I might be wrong but I don't think so. there is a company called sagenspezi which I think is german if anyone knows how to speek german or knows about this manufactor and can interprite the company into English it would be a big help.

looking for anwswers I got a squedual to keep trying to have this saw built by febuary I guess I might have to call the king out in big fur country on this one mr Dougan. the real chainsaw guy if you havnt heard of this guy I sugest you look him up myrtle creek saw shop he has his own you tube chanel chainsaw guy west coast muscle saws he is a chainsaw purist and knows his stuff over 40 years in the business over 30000 saws worked on the man has devoted his life to saws.

You must really love writing to yourself eh?

check out hlsupply or something. Shouldn't be that hard to find. You may have to go with aftermarket parts.

I think Proline is USA, but I've used many of the parts, and I'm quite happy with the tolerances, fit, and finish. Carb for an 028 was 50 bucks, and quite worth every penny,,, chinese carbs don't usually adjust properly, and I threw two of them in the trash after using Proline. Bearing seals are fine also, and affordable. I shop at Sawzilla, and HLsupply. Check the deal of the day and sale items (sometimes the same part is less expensive under a different category). Proline clutch springs gave me a problem, the end loops didn't have enough clearance I had to grind a bout 50 thousandths off of the end of each loop. I have NOT found anyone competent on ebay,,, most parts are listed totally wrong, and those that look okay are grossly overpriced I saw a woodruff key for 5 bucks (they're worth 50 cents) and 15 DOLLAR shipping. F That. Best of luck.
