Stihl 051AV; what's it's value?

[coreyshu]

I've got a low time 051AV with normal paint wear that starts easy and runs great with gobs of power. The piston and cylinder look fine. It's more than I need in a saw. I figure it might be worth about 275. Is that about right? Thanks in advance.

I doubt you get that, but look on Ebay, there must be some there.

Depends on your version of 'mint' and what someone is willing to pay for it. That one TM posted with the eBay link...nice saw. I am gonna guess the final price of $215.

051

Lucky if you can get 150 out of one here. Too old and too heavy. 066 will out cut it and an 046 will give it a run for the money.

051s where very popular with the big timber cutters in the P north west. Good saws

It would be a shame to see these old powerheads used to repower demo saws.

Back in the late '60s/early '70s, the 051 AV was truly the cat's ass! It was the cutting edge of chain saw technology in the Northwest. But I must concur with others here. I would take a good modern-day 066 hands down.

The 89cc 051 is probably still in production, as it is offered as a current model in South America (with chain brake).

It is far from the oldest Stihl model offered there. though.........
