there might be a vid of it somewhere. they are not far from morton or buckley log shows, or hoqium also.
here is another saw I found a pic of in an old stihl timbers sports program.
How many of you would like to see a new STIHL 090 10 CUBE?

Maybe I missed it, but are those finger ports in that first jug stock/factory??

still up in the air about the finger ports. Dont know if they were original or done to waynes saw later.
would need to tear this one down to see what it has. It is a 3 hour drive for me but due to the historic value of this info he may go for it.
thats another road trip for me. I actualy drove farther than this place yesterday hunting down a guy with a barn full of vintage saws but missed him..

Hmmm. . . That would be a really interesting tidbit to hear if Stihl was experimenting with finger-ports in the 10 cube. Looking forward to more!
Thanks for posting all this.
They must be factory because they look too perfect to be done with a foredom.

That's what I think as well, they look machined with a mill.
If I recall correctly, Madsen's used to have that 10 ci saw on display in their old shop on N. Pearl street. There was also that 084 with the NOS setup. They were the first things you'd see when you walked into the place. Talk about WOW! factor!

that was my first visit ever to madsens. To walk into a walmart sized logger supply store was already a big WOW.
the rows of new stihl and husky was quite impresive. everything up to the 880 and 3120 ready to go.
I first spotted the 084 as it was in the shop but then I asked were the 090 was and the guy says follow me..
We walked back in the storage area and about 20 foot up you could just see the handle and the pipe.
once they got it down he wanted to wipe it down but I just started shooting.
Watch for my pics from stihl NW soon from the same day.

Those guys are seriously my favorite. I actually grew up in Centralia. Never knew I had it so good 'til I moved around some. Nowadays I send 'em business every chance I get, and still buy my gear there almost exclusively. There's a little Husky/Echo dealer in Oly I go to also, just because I like the guys that run the place. Still, Madsen's is my all-time favorite. I actually expected to balk some when they moved to their new, big shop space a few years ago, but I find that I like it better because I don't have to wait for them to go across the street to the warehouse any more. Those guys are a class act all the way.
Now I understand how my 2-year old feels...

090 has only 2 rings, the 10 cube (as shown) has 1 dyke ring.
found another 10 cube today. This belongs to Sam at Madsens chainsaw shop in chehalis.
My first visit to this walmart sized shop..cool place.
this 090 10 cube was on a pallet 20 foot up on a rack and they
hauled it down for me to get some pics.
Sam's story of the 10 cube was that when mcCulloch ruled the
kart tracks stihl wanted to build a motor to beat them . Not really intended
to be used in saws but seems like a few were made and only a few are still known to exist.
I knew Madsen had a 090 hotsaw but I did not know it was the 159cc till today.
I just noticed something different about Sam's 090 10 cube, it's a newer style AV model unlike the one Wayne sutton has.

the AV system is not newer.
It was availible on both 106 and 137cc models from around 64 and up.
contra lightning , contra lightning S .
then 1968 070 and 090
I just found it weird the Madsen's 10 cube was different than Waynes and Arts.

I guess there was a reason that very few were made?
The ten-cube 090 isn't much of a runner compared to other big 'hotsaws'. A friend who has one has told me that a well-tuned 880 will spank his ten-cube.
A replacement for displacement??
Wow. Maybe that changes once the log reaches four feet in diameter. :chainsawguy:
A replacement for displacement??
Yeah, or maybe six feet. It takes a lot of work to make any 090 into a good runner. They do have their place though...
