Sold Stihl 036 Pro

[jrsdws]

Selling my Stihl 036 Pro chainsaw PHO. This saw has a new meteor piston assembly, OEM crank seals, carb kit and sprocket. She is a very strong runner and idles and oils as it should. Besides a crack in the air filter cover, the saw is in very good shape and is pretty clean. $350 plus shipping. This is a firewood MACHINE that I'm only parting with to help finance a new saw.

What kind of new saw are you looking for?

trade?

 

[jrsdws]

I'm buying a new 362CM. I'm not sure I'll entertain trades at this time.

Lots of nice 036's have gone up recently. This one is no exception! Nice saw. One of my personal favorites.

Just checking

one thing i notice with nearly all 036's to include my own minty, is the dang pesky surface rust that forms on the front muff cover. I have several similar models and none seem to oxidize quite like the 036 does.. Hmmph.. Good luck with the sale, she's a nice one

I painted mine over a year ago with Stove Bright stove paint. Still looks good.

Took me 10 minutes to do. Light sand with 180 and then some 3M Scotchbrite pad. Well worth it and a great upgrade for any model that rusted

I have 3 mufflers. 2 came from 036s and 1 from a MS360. I would have sworn that all 3 covers were stainless steel. There is not a hint of rust on any of them although the muffler bodies themselves were rusty. I will put a magnet on them tomorrow.
Btw . . . Soaking in white vinegar for a day or two usually gets every speck of rust off. Rinse. Dry. Grill paint
Nice saw

They are not stainless steel but they sure look like it. Did a little experimenting today. Will post in Chainsaw

 

[DexterDay]

I painted another today (it's an 036, but an 034 top cover).

 

[z50guru]

Dexter, the mufflers look great. I'll copy your choice of paint and attempt to bring mine up to snuff. For now i just have the cover wire wheeled and it looks pretty weak compared to the rest of the saw.

I hope all the nice 036's being posted here works in the OP's advantage. Its gotta be making some "would be" buyers hungry for one

They are some of the best firewood saws ever made!

Your saw is a very clean looking 036! Very clean!

Do flippys count ?

Bump on a good saw at a good price.,

 

[jrsdws]

Cut a load of firewood with this saw yesterday and that's making me second guess even selling it, but I'm counting on the 362CM to blow it away. Easter price drop to $325 plus shipping.

Then you're going to be disappointed.

Then you're going to be disappointed.

My 362C is a much better saw than the 036.

The OE 362 I was never impressed with. But the Mtronic model is quickly becoming a favorite. I love my 036, and once it gets back home from Tennessee, it may regain the favorite position. But as of right now? The 362C takes the cake. I put 4 more tanks through it on Friday, and it's getting strong..

 

[old-cat]

I wish I weren't so tight financially, I'd prefer your saw over the new MS362.
It would absolutely have to be "ported"

 

[jrsdws]

Last price drop to $300 plus shipping. After this she either goes to Fleabay or down to be ported. I will listen to trade offers, but really would rather sell this saw.
