A service manual for the Lightning, nice! First time I've seen it and I have been wondering if it would exist. Did you by any chance scan the contents?
I'd actually forgot I had it, found it today while searching thru my early Stihl stuff, it hasn't been scanned yet.

Around 1962 or a little later? If the bar is original the year is stamped in there somewhere...

I knew I had seen it somewhere, I couldn't remember exactly where though. Not sure if it was the one in this video, but it has the non-av full wrap:
thanks Tom!
Bob, is it an original bar on that saw ? IE: Does the bar have the Stihl log logo stamper on it?

Does anyone know where these 1109 parts went?
Although they are advertised as 090G parts, clearly these are Contra gear drive cases. I REALLY! like that spike on the first case halve. I already contacted mr. Dougan (last year) to try and track them down but he couldn't tell me more than that he did not have them anymore.
Did anyone here buy this stuff and may want to part with the spike for a good price?

Looking at the raised serial number pad, I'd say 070/090.
