A Stihl 20t or a ms200t?

Help Support Arborist Forum:
They are pretty much identical but from the yellow sticker on the chain brake and the fact the recoil is an older one I would say it is a an 020T.
Likely to be an 020. Stihl introduced the 019T in 1998 so they were yet to move over to the MS series in 1998. This is just my guess work...
This is my 200. I believe it is a full MS200t. No parts borrowed etc. Flippy caps and all. And a different starter to yours. Like pro94lt said, if your crankcase is flippy it is likely a 200. Doubt someone would go through the hassle of swapping a case etc. Unless you are crazy like me!
Flip cap oil cap also. The starter housing must be from a older saw.
And the chain brake. But either way they were the same with different stickers and name plate. Mine is muffler modded which is overkill on a saw like this. And it picks up from idle like a scalded dog.
I've only just acquired this. I had a MS150t with a muffler mod and a timing advance and that thing was tiny and dare a say it like an angry little pixie. It had a 10" 1/4" bar and chain. That thing was perfect with a few mods.
What's the theory behind wanting to sell it? Do you not need a top handle. I don't either, I just come by saws either keep me or flip them. My go to saw is my 357xp.
I have a ms261 a 066 and a homelite super ez for the farm but I'm not a climber at 62 years old. I like flipping saws also for a little social security supplement.
