I won this saw in an auction last weekend...



Some details are a bit strange:
Normal 024 AV cylinder (no "S")


But... The saw features a side chain tensioner and therefore a 024 Super/026 crankcase (necessary for the debarker as tensioning from the front is difficult??)


I found slotted as well as torx bolts and screws :KK:
The carburetor linkage resembles the one used on newer versions (can be removed only after removing the black handle cover).

Is it possible that Stihl assembled modified engine units for debarker use?
 
I think more likely is that it's a frankensaw built up to serve a purpose. Doubt it came from Stihl that way, but who knows? Is the debarking attachment made by Stihl?
 
I would say its a chainsaw just with the debarker attachment.
They have side tensioners on the saws.
Its has its oil tank and feed.
The big give away I think is under the tensioner unit, that aluminium bracket bolted into the centre of that white plastic plug is the chain catcher still in place just bent up out the way.
