Seems cheap even if for spares......

On Gumtree. Too far for me, but might be worth a look. If it’s not nicked[emoji848]

Will that saw not be ancient???

 

 

I thought 0 , AV series were 20 or 30 years old + bar and chain u could be looking at 50 quid easy. Not that cheap really

 

Wot size of saw is that??

 

Must admit despite having quite a few Stihl chainsaws ( think 4 plus strimmer hedge cutter and blower) still have absolulletly no idea how there model numbers work and with size of saw that is

Drinksloe its the predecessor to the 880, used to be Stihl,s biggest  saw of that era readily available over here. Spares can be a bit of a prob IIRC

First one I owned was late 80s, they were a gutsy saw. I have had 3 stolen down the years.

Some of the parts are obsolete now, including AVs, but at that money would be a good donor saw if nothing else.

Bit worrying the recoil rope being out like that but £100....either nicked or a bargain!

[peatff]

At £100 I'd have it if it was local just to take it to pieces and have a look. Best I got yet was MS460 for £100.

I have found that the trouble with stripping things for spares is that the same components are worn out on the donor as on the recipient. So unless you know that someting significant has been replaced fairly recently, I'd give it the swerve.

I’ve often regretted not keeping old bikes and saws that at the time thought impossible to refurbish economically. Now with the internet things are a lot more possible with patience. If that’s not nicked I’d have thought it worth a punt
