As long as it’s free! I liked my ms170 before I traded it.

Those aren't too bad, just don't like that cheap plastic ring on the carb boot.

The 180 just seems cheaper made.

Imagine what an aftermarket one would be like...

Of course they had to change the coil on the 180 so the early 170 ones wouldn't fit...

I have, I used a heavy zip tie and my zip tie gun, much tighter than what was on the one I rebuilt.

You should see the piles of MS170, 171, 180 and 181 the local Stihl dealership always has... and they always sell the whole lot of them! Those things are like tiger mosquitoes: obnoxious and everywhere.
Statistics work against you.

Oh yeah, and since it's a chainsaw and a Stihl, anybody here would ask you full retail price including VAT for the privilege without budging a cent.

I wouldn't mind sometime having another 180 since I have quite a few spare parts but really not looking right now..

I had an 017 for all of a couple of days. Ran like a peach, cleaned it up and moved it on. I could see a guy cutting a 3-5 cord a year with it no issues.

 

[Mac&Homelite]

Yeah, the 017's are good saws...especially with a fully adjustable carb

 

[a. palmer jr.]

The last 017 I had in here I put an adjustable carb on it. I ordered the carb for a spare and kept it about 2 days..

Well just went and picked up some Stihls... the verdict is in

 

[jr27236]

Who knows how to read a McCulloch tag and tell me the details, if they even meant anything that way back. Its the ps81 thats all I know lol. Did theae have more desirable years or carbs and such?? (Like a 266 k&s setup)

You suck because you won't tell us!

 

[LonestarStihl]

Well I brought Home 7 “saws” and they aren’t in the best of shape but I figure I still get Parts. But here is the metal vintage saw. It’s actually one of the nicer looking ones...

 

[LonestarStihl]

Just a little S10

It looks like you got an 044 or 046 didn’t you?
