As someone that works on Stihls everyday as a profession, that saw is not old enough or cool enough to justify that kind of money. A grand tops with serious sentimental values.

@@slevin974 Yeshhhh!

[@CraigGrant-sh3in]

Ya, it has star head screws. Looks like it came out of a collapsed barn . I worked with a guy around 1980 who had a Stihl chainsaw from the 1940s . It was like 20hp mower engine with a cutting bar. He bought it as a collector item . I'm betting he still has it today

[@Eisen_Jaeger]

agree, the rubber and plastic was still pliable with no cracks, no stuck bolts or screws, no internal rust. Heck the plugs even looked fairly clean.

[@user-su8oq6wh5h]

He could have sent it to Iron Horse and got a hot rod that would last his lifetime for that money and that old man would appreciate the money.

That's just a lightly used saw that they sprayed with salt water and mud for a couple of weeks.

[@project_aerox8679]

If you prepped the engine cases better before painting them this would of be a 10/10, you should never paint the inside of the cases, also the mating surface for the cylinder base should of all been masked off prior to painting (no hate intended) think of it as constructive criticism

[@banjoman6223]

Totally agree, but just an fyi, Stihl painted the inside of the crankcase in the factory on some of there saws. I have an 042 and that is case with it.

[@Issueforth]

Should have... Grammar check. I know pulling a thread. But I agree with you also.

Paint on the inside of the engine? How long will that last before flaking and causing a catastrophe?
