Stihl 056 Super build

[Camperspecial]

Hi Folks.
Just picked up a pretty solid 056 super. Saw runs and has about 125 pounds of compression. My plan is to completely go through the saw, get the compression back up and have a great, strong 056 super to have on hand when I want it.
When I go this far with a saw I replace the cranks bearings since I’m there because it’s usually about thirty or fourty bucks.
I find it strange that there are aftermarket parts, including pistons and cylinders for this saw but I can’t find crank bearings.

If you can direct me to something either OEM or aftermarket, or a work-around I’d appreciate it.
Thanks.
Rob.

Ebay has one OEM late type (nylon plastic ball carrier) for the clutch side bearing listed...not a sponsor nor recommend the seller.

Have not seen any aftermarket nor work arounds for the clutch side.

The left side (flywheel) is a standard sized #6004 bearing, but the right side (clutch) is Stihl proprietary & has not been made for years now.

Look up the IPL (parts breakdown) for the part numbers.

There is something about the 056 super that is making me keep it, but I haven’t got much affection for it.. maybe I need more time on it. For $50 Australian dollars though, it doesn’t owe me much.

However, they take about the nicest looking OEM bucking spikes ever..
