I know somebody who has an old 041AV sitting in a shed for years. I think it has a 28" bar, and really it looks to be in real good shape. The guy said it ran great, but hasn't been started for years. What would this be worth, if it has good compression?
What's an 041av worth?

I'm not sure about the 041av, but I only payed 120 for my 041 super with a 30" b/c but it was also not running (just needed a carb kit, had 175psi compression)

Mine showed up on my lawn in the leaves one fine fall morning.......orphaned.....no love I guess...complete saw...never tried to start it.
It's not a saw I would buy for regular use. I consider it a collector's item. If you did buy it to use, it's so old that you would want to go through it entirely.

I had a 041 and it ran great. Sold it and picked up an 045av. Talk about heavy.

Buying one cheap can be a way of getting a great bar/chain real cheap!!

No I didn't.
An 041 AV Farm Boss was never designed to pull a 28" bar and chain. If this saw did that most of its 25-year life, it's shot.

You sure you don't mean short?........lol I saw a 612 Jonsereds on ebay a short time ago with a 32" .......it did have a skip chain....but ...really?? I mean the 621 is a legend... for sure...but a 56cc saw, even an old torque master like the 621 is definitely working it's soul out with that kind of bar....go bigger. CC....041 good for a 20" bar.......24" in a pinch but not for a standard diet....
Well, OP said "I think" a 28" bar. I cannot recall seeing any 041 equipped with that. Maybe it's a typo. He may have keyboarded the 8 instead of the 0 after the 2. There is always that possibility.
I have an 041 but wouldn't be my choice for cutting for very long. I repaired one for a friend the other day and cut a bit of wood with it and was quite surprised at how well it did..
Ridiculous intake stack ...
