chainsaw parts availability

[thewalnutguy]

I've been using Jonsered chainsaws for years. Like the performance of he saws and they holdup well, but when parts are needed I've found that Jonsered is really poor about having parts available for older saws. I've now got an 830 in great condition but needing new vibration isolator mounts for the handles, and they're no longer available. I'm considering switching to a different make of saw, and am wondering how good Stihl is for parts availability for non-current models.

You can find those mounts on ebay..

Stihl is already phasing out parts for less popular models like the 084.
