About 2 months ago I purchased a used Stihl 070 from a pawn shop here in Belize. It is non-AV but is in almost new condition. I would like to know when it was made if someone here has access to the information. It is serial #163 411 568. I know it has sat on the floor of the pawn shop since early this year.
The shop is right on the street and all the dust goes right through the open windows and doors and covers everything. I took the covers off and cleaned under the carb, around the starter, etc. The previous owner has used waste motor oil for bar oil so I had to flush it all out with diesel and put new bar oil in. I replaced the oil cap as well due to damaged threads.
I got a set of dogs from the local Stihl dealer, and a rim and drum kit from Bailey's. The Stihl .404 chain loop on the saw had the rakers filed to .095". It now has a loop of Oregon 3/8" pitch .063" square chisel on it.
The saw will see most of its use on my Granberg 48" mill. Down here in the jungle the 070 is probably the most common large saw. Parts are stocked at the local dealer and the prices for genuine parts are comparable to Bailey's aftermarket ones.
