Yard Sale Stihl S10 Find

[Big Red Oaks 4 me]

I found a yard sale today, and went through all of the old buildings on the place without noticing this old Stihl, but the place was loaded with junk. I asked a lady if they had any old chainsaws, and she led me out to one of the barns that I had been in earlier. Don't know how I missed it! Anyway, I got it for 40.00. Not locked-up, and it does have compression. It's been in the barn for decades. It has a WIDE bar on it.

I had one of these about 15 years ago that I cut firewood with. As well as I remember, it had decent power.

I just rebuilt one about a month ago.
I like the sound of the cast magnesium muffler of an S10.

Where would one find parts to rebuild one? Assuming the internals are the same for the top handle e10, which is what I have, are the parts easy to find?

HL Supply has aftermarket parts.
They have NOS parts in ebay too, but good luck sifting through the chinese stuff.

That's an old one. Very cool. That'll clean up quite nice.

Nice find. I got my 08S for $40. The best old saw I ever buy. I'm very happy with that saw.
