Ach well 028avs wood boss

[Undercut]

Well it's not been oiling , ruined chains , compression is grand and does run a treat

So figured lets see , chucked it in to the stihl dealer he want 140 quid new oiler , chain few other bits decided go for it as if something works why scrap it and can't get the same for £140 #on the other conversation on here ,,start small with old gear you know and slowly build up

hello undercut

what about trying to do it yourself just looked on e-bay a new oiler is £20 and new worm gear for it about £8 i dont know how to do one as never had any thing to do with a 028 but am sure there is enough help on here to get you through it and it a good way of learning to sort out older saws

hope that helps

I never even looked on eBay :-(( the dealer said 50 for the pump Sod's law the parts are on back order so I'd prob be quicker on eBay

Cheers for your Reply mate

I should have just opened it up myself instead of being lazy

I have a bust one of that vintage, bought it from a neighbour who had it from new after the storm, it had been seized so I bought an aftermarket italian pot and piston. It snapped the conrod the following day when used by my young helper, I suspect I had been a bit hamfisted putting the gudgeon pin in.

 

I can dig the bits out if anyone is interested for a sensible donation to Medecin sans frontiers

Well my 'vintage' saw had cut **** loads without a problem , reward those that work well for you , so it gets a full refit , if yours is that bad I'd chuck it in a skip

Is there anything worth while ?

Here's a couple of photos, for the one person that was interested, it's been at the back of my shed for 1/4 century and I'm having trouble finding all the bits. Did find several things I forgot I had though.

 

Is it possible to find date and model from the serial number?

 

 

Indeed is it an 028?

Andrew, Ive got an 028 that was running like a train, but I dropped a tree on the back handle, the motor is still 100 % (was last year), I can feel a donation coming on.
