Don't forget about year/s produced and set-up info.... max/idle RPM, torque specs, pull rope length, etc.... maybe Tech Bulletins :laugh:

Come on now, a nice resource with basic model, cc, bore and stroke wouldn't be that hard to set up. I can't find one on the web anywhere. It'd be especially nice, at minimum, for all the older models that have the same number designation, but different jugs for regular, farm boss, magnum, super, etc. I'd take care of the Excel part and then post it up for everyone.

the overlap is still a good question , most are right but some may not be needed.

how ever there are still quite a few tags after numbers missing

example

032, 032av, 032 electronic, 032 electronic quick stop.

if you look at the 1984 ad a few pages back you will see lots of tags after those numbers.

the 64 and 66 also has a few other tags. 066 magnum 066 red light

the 041 saw has at least 6 different tops for that series.

some may still need the tags pro, magnum or super added.

both my 1124 saws are magnums 084 088
 
Sawbones beat me to it, but I was going to mention the Redlight versions of saws. I personally have a 066 Magnum Redlight. Didn't they also make a 046 Redlight?
It is kind of fun to think of all the models. Great saws!

even though they may have never been marketed as a "red light" that name has much meaning to a buyer and should be noted..

Same with the new 460's sold here. They have a full wrap, large cover and big dogs so they call them a "west coast" version.

possible nick names that become a "sticky" for a certain model.

In my collecting of the old Stihl ads it leads to other names used for models by the marketing system at that time.

The BLK was aslo called the "blitz" in marketing.

The 1968 070 carried the original name lightning with it.

Some where along the line the US market added the terms D 24 for the lightning (1959 or 60 ), and D 24 super for the lightning S 137 (1964). "S" for super
I have a few pieces of lit to verify this but I first learned of that designation from talking to old dealers that sold those saws new.

1958 ad.

Here's something I posted in another thread a while back. :cheers:

Oh and I picked you up a clip for the chain catcher on the 441.

Great info, thanks!

I just happen to have brewed a special batch of extra chocolate stout. I'll have to bring some over soon :cheers:
 
Looking for more information on a Stihl FarmBoss 038 AVS Electronic Quickstop.

Thank you.
 
024 av

I just pick up an 024 AV Electronic Q-stop and now I am wondering where it was made. Nice little saw. Also wonder what is electronic on it.

Ignition is electronic vs points...

quick stop seems to mean a chain brake
 
Great thread, absolutely amazing how much knowledge is here. I saw fatguy refer to a saw that I have. 041 AV Farmboss. What if anything makes it different from the other 041's ? Thanks

Electronic

Thanks, I thought the Brake was Electronic :) After looking at it I realized I was wrong.
 
The information on here is great.

Could someone put together a comparison list between old models and current models please if possible? Or has it already been done?

Some very limited or proto types. like the model 70 1110 series. not 070 but 70. 040 041 family.

you can catch a glimpse of it in one of the waynes world vids I made.

I have been told that the 70AV was a local Swedish improvement on the 041, and that 3000 - 4000 were made based on imported 041 saws. All without the Germans knowing about it until Hans Peter Stihl visited one day! I believe the 041 Super was based on it.
