my 090 and 090G worth a rebuild?

[jeffyg]

so i bought a 090 with a 3' bar and chain for 20bucks a few months ago... runs good.. ya i scored.

next i came across a 090G with a 4'cannon bar and new loop of chain that i wanted for parts(150$). saw is in pretty good shape, crack in the crank bell so its hooped and missing a muffler.

just trying to decide if its worth it to try to get the gear drive saw running or not. figure i will clean it up a bit and toss it in a rubbermaid for now and maybe pull it out at a later date. i see you can get a crank from bailey's

got a lot of my place here now so it may have to wait a bit, when i went to pick up the second one i was surprised to see it was different than the first 090 i picked up.

Nope, send it to me. Those are junk, I'll dispose of it properly.

Not that I am an expert on 090s, but I'd say it'd be worth hanging onto the 090G. Especially for what you picked it up for. Where are you looking? I gotta go there.

A true CAD-o-phile never tosses out anything. If you decide not to fix 'em up, sell them to someone who will

 

[tek9tim]

Seriously though, if you want to get rid of the 090G, let me know.

can you post a pic of the crack?

It would have to be really beat so as not to be worth repairing one or both. They go for big bucks, especially on eBay. A regular 090 can fetch $850, an 090AV around $1000, and an 090G more than a thousand from anyone looking for a good milling saw.

Watch out for this guy Jeff! He just wants to steal your saws. Send me the 090G and I'll fix it for free and test run it for a couple years. Maybe five years to be sure. Trust me I'm your friend.

I asked my old lady who knows nothing about saws and once she heard geardrive she said YES. Then I mumbled 090 and she said double yes. So yea i would rebuild both

Hi,

One of the saws has never been run, whilst the other has seen very limited use. You definitely cannot buy these saws new in Australia any more, and have not been able to for many many years.

These two saws came from the US, and were picked up at a Stihl dealer auction a few years back. I am pretty happy to have been able to get them for my collection, as I like the old gear drives.

Regards,

Chris.

just trying to decide if its worth it to try to get the gear drive saw running or not.

If it was run over with a skidder after you dropped an old growth Douglas fir on it still would be worth a rebuild .... or you can send it to me .
