Possible 090 purchase HELP

[Tyrel]

Hello, I have the opportunity to purchase an 090 for 750. Here is some pics. Do I just pull the cover and verify there are six clutch shoes. How to tell between 090 and 090g. Does this look like a good buy or should I pass it up. Says it runs good. Always appreciate your advise

How to tell between 090 and 090g.

Not a G...and I'm getting it for $550, not $750 or even the listing price!! Thanks.

 

[Tyrel]

Is there not a 090 and a 090G model. Or are you just correcting my capitalization

 

[nmurph]

There's a G (gear drive model), this saw isn't one of those.

Do the 090 have greater value than the 090G.

No, the G is more rare.

No, the G is more rare.

Don't the 090 have the bigger piston.

Yes, the 090G uses the 070 P&C.

Yes, the 090G uses the 070 P&C.

Thank you I really appreciate your info. Do you think that's a good buy.

It's hard to say without knowing it's condition. Looks like it's missing a lot of paint. Are you buying this to use or collect?

Father inlaw wants one. More of a collector peice than Anything. He was asking 950, talked down to 750

070 = 58mm bore

I was kidding and trying to show you how easily I could have do so, and it has happened here more than once.

Only the regular 090 has the 66mm bore.

The 090 was a 137cc, very large timber production saw. The 090G was a geared 106cc saw. Basically a geared 070. All these saws are still being produced in Brazil. Good luck getting one back into the US of A. Maybe in your checked bags, not in your carry on. If you put a 090 piston and cylinder an a 090G you get a 097, wait maybe that is a Massey tractor, but I digress.

Hope your pa in-law likes it.
