084 Differences and Info

[TwinTurboRam]

Heres my old clunker. Not a beauty by any means. Had to do a little work to her to get the bar to mount up(used to pull it with an 066), but now I can use all my standard mount bars on the 84 which will be kinda convenient.

Nice saw and bar. What's involved to mod the 084 to use the smaller mount bars?

It's my turn to snipe a sale. LINK Can't beat a deal like that. It was listed oddly as a Stihl084 with no space. $427 to my door. I need a bar too. Yes, I am now the official 084 horder I'll be picking my other two up tonight.

Brad - congratulations on the great deal on an 084 that you just got .

 

[bcorradi]

DOH - I was trying to beat you to posting anything about it .

 

[blsnelling]

Someone here on AS tipped me off on the odd listing. I can't remember who or I'd give you a public thank you. Thanks.

Out of curiosity how much did you bid on your snipe bid?

I had an extra set of bar studs, so I chucked them up in a lathe and turned em down to fit the smaller mount. After that its a matter of drilling 4 holes and depending on the bar and what drive gear you run you have to cut the slot in the bar deeper, and possibly cut the tail a bit if you run a big gear. I got about 2 hours in 4 bars, most of the time went to setting up studs to turn in the lathe.

Must be nice having the right equipment for the job at hand.

I got a 84 cylinder here that you may have to try and build a mandrel for.
To cut the top off and try and make a head for down the road.
I'll show you why when I drop by sometime.

Already made a mandrel, and am thinking about cutting one of my extras. Got some aluminum stock on the way for the 460 cyl.
