A pair of Stihl geardrives - 090G's

[CM76]

I secured a deal on these saws a while back, and they finally arrived the other day from the U.S.A. My wife took delivery of the packages - allbeit under a little bit of protesting.

They are a pair of Stihl 090G's - one saw has been used but is in pretty well perfect shape with hardly a mark on it. The other saw has not been used at all.

The used 090G is fitted out with a 30" hardnose Stihl bar, and complemented by a nice loop of Stihl 1/2" chain. I can't wait to give the used 090G a run, but will more than likely leave the unused saw as is.

Here are some pics of the saws.

Regards,

Chris.

Beautiful saws! I have an 041G that has never seen gas but, seem to fail in comparison to yours.

I think he has other things on his mind.

I think he has other things on his mind.

I would sure hope so. The birth of a new baby and the health of his father are definant things that outweigh any saw issue.

Chris ,Very nice your going to need a larger shed soon

Thanks for the comments. It certainly looks that way gmax - space is running out. A bit of rearranging should take care of it though. On second thoughts, a larger shed could always be put to good use.

Regards,

Chris.

Thanks for Sharing, Beautiful saws, although I hate to see such nice saws on the concrete like that. If you gonna run 'em, then I guess it wouldn't matter.

Hi Lee - The previous owner of these saws purchased them from a dealer auction. There were three of these 090G's - all brand new. He used one of them to cut some trees down on his property, and this is the used saw that is now mine.
The other two saws have not been started, and one of these saws is also mine. He is keeping the other new saw for himself.

It was too good an opportunity to pass up, so I struck while the iron was hot.

Regards,

Chris.

No problem with the saws on the concrete. They were 'gently' placed for photo purposes only. These girls will get the attention and care that will keep them in their current condition for years to come!

Chris.

Those are beautiful Chris! You never know what's hiding on a dealers shelf or in someones barn or closet. And here I thought mine was clean, lol.

Thanks Brad. It actually was your 090G thread that inspired me to look for one of these old monsters. Your saw is a fine example of the model as well. I enjoyed the vid you posted - where the big saw started to bite and kick during the latter stages of the cut. Nothing like wrestling a geardrive!!!!

Regards,

Chris.
